WordPress has many external APIs that spit out data. Interacting with these APIs does not put your code on the same level as core WordPress code. These APIs include Atom, RSS, AtomPub, and XML-RPC. Something that interacts with these APIs sits entirely outside of WordPress. Google Reader doesn’t become part of WordPress by accessing your feed, and MarsEdit doesn’t become part of WordPress when you use it to publish a post on your WordPress blog. These are separate applications, running separately, on separate codebases. All they are doing is communicating. Applications that interact with WordPress this way are separate works, and the author can license them in any way they have authority to do so.

The CyberSEO is a self-sufficient product which can run without WP like a sand-alone code, but it can be used with WordPress via its API (like MarsEdi). That how it works

Once again the CyberSEO is not a GPL product. I've spoke about it to Mika from WordPress.org just about a week ago. I've told him how exactly my plugin works and he said that's ok, and the only restriction is that won't be able to distribute my plugin via WordPress.org repository because it's not a GPL product. Actually it was the reason why they have removed my other
SimpleFLV plugin from the repository. The problem was in JWPlayer which is included into the package but its NOT a GPL product.
I don't see any reason to continue the GPL "educational" discussion with GFY'ers, just because I have
direct contacts with the WP developers.
