WordPress VS Wagtail

I do not believe it is legally "GPL v2 or later" at all. The original b2 license was GPL v2. There was no or later version option in the original b2 license. Given that WordPress is a derivative work, it has to keep the same or compatible license. Which "GPL v2 or later" is not.

Note how the original license is GPL v2 at [0], then the "or later" header is added much later at [1] seemingly out of nowhere.

I'm a WordPress (WP) developer and avid user of WP Engine. I just tested some of my WordPress sites hosted on WP Engine and can confirm that it's currently not possible to take some actions that pull data from https://wordpress.org/, such as not updating WP plugins or installing new WP plugins.

I'm furious at Matt Mullenweg and Auttomatic, as they control wordpress.org as Auttomatic hosts wordpress.org and one or both of them probably decided to block some important WordPress features on WP Engine servers. Also below is text from the https://wordpressfoundation.org/ homepage:

Powering more than 40% of the top 10 million websites on the Internet today according to WikiPedia, WordPress continues to be one of the most popular content management systems in the world. Though its core components remain primarily PHP and MySQL/MariaDB, a lot has changed in the past 20 years in terms of infrastructure and hosting options.

To get started working, first of all, you need to install Wordpress Zip from Wordpress.org and place it in the htdocs if you are using XAMPP or www if you are using WAMP or MAMP, this way if you want to test WordPress locally but if you want to go online directly, often you're going to use a hosting, for instance, Namecheap or Goddady, the majority of them use Softaculous it's a commercial script library that automates the installation of commercial and open source web applications in your website hosting.

What I noticed with Next.js is not something new, this has happened before with any popular language/framework/CMS. WordPress being one of the most popular. In the past I worked on a lot of WordPress websites, as the community around WordPress grow, certain WordPress themes and plugins become a default option for a lot of people, like Avada, Betheme and The7 with millions of sales in downloads. You install the theme, select one from many template dummy options, and in a couple of minutes you'll have a beautiful WordPress website...that looks like all the rest. Now I can identify a WordPress website as soon as the page is loaded, when that happens finally.

I created a new ImageBlock with full backward compatibility with the ImageChooserBlock, hence removing the need for data migration.

Not so long ago, I submitted a Pull Request in wagtail to improve the admin performance, especially for non-superusers. Basically, it caches all the user's permissions on first access. However, I was pretty sure that this would load a lot of model fields that we never need but there isn't a tool that gives us that type of report. Therefore, I started building an app that keeps track of all fields accessed so you can easily know which ones haven't been used and apply the only/defer optimisation for Django querysets.

Wagtail would be a good example https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/tree/main/wagtail/tests

Over the last few years, I have had the incredible opportunity to be a core team member of the Wagtail project. In that time, I have reviewed many new pull requests, and I’ve also had the chance to submit many of my own across Wagtail and many other projects.
