One plugin inspires another

You gotta love the GPL.

All of the code I release is done so under the GPLv3 license, including my WordPress plugins. Because of this, my K2 Hook Up plugin inspired a very similar plugin for the premium theme, Thesis. This is why I love open source. I’m free to copy and paste and tinker and hack. So when I’m fortunate to offer up my own code for others to use, its a great feeling to have it in turn inspire another’s tinkering.

But its an even better feeling to receive a very nice complement on your contributions:

I’m very grateful for your plugin, Eric! Seems like whenever I try to do admin panel stuff, it’s so complex, leading to surrender on my part. Your plugin was very well written — elegant in its simplicity, as they say — and helped me learn some stuff! – Rick Beckman

Its interactions like this that really do make it all worthwhile.

One thought on “One plugin inspires another

  1. Yes indeed, gotta love the GPL. :) Thanks for the link back to OpenHook, Eric!

    I used to use K2 exclusively, and I gotta say, the style you have going on here for it is very nice. I’m not much in the way of *design* so I usually stuck with the standard K2 “Big Blue Header” look!
