I thought I'd start a thread here that discusses the impact of Joomla's renewed commitment to and enforcement of the GPL on Community Builder. The thread in the main Joomla! site addressing the issue is getting a bit long-winded.

A few commercial plugins are available for CB, and some really interesting functionality enhancements by way of plugins are on the way. It made me curious as to how enforcement of the GPL will have any impact on that path of development.

Since most if not all plugins depend on the CB API in one way or another, would they be considered derivative works of CB, and if so, how can and should they be licensed? Moreover, could the CB plugin architecture technically be called a derivative work of Joomla's way of handling extensions?
