It's the position of wordpress that all themes and plugins are derivative work https://wordpress.org/about/license/
My understanding is because of the way PHP works all plugins are directly interacting with the wordpress code.
I understand, but if I create some code that use no wordpress code and only API access and don't ship it with wordpress, they can't enforce a gpl licence for my code.
Wordpress does absolutely nothing to enforce this, so their position on the matter is irrelevant.
Commercial plugins are a thing, next.
