He has, but he has also made some shonky ones. Plus he does have a tendency to sidestep/twist to suit his argument, on occasion. I'm personally not of the belief that all of his points are purely altruistic.

Anyhows, I personally think the whole paid/free debate in itself is a non-starter. That is for the respective coders to decide when they release their work. The licence and its enforcement is a completely different matter, however, as is how they are allowed to conduct themselves on the official site. Those points lead to what is the main problem, IMHO. The actual people in charge of the project, not the mod authors. The mod authors have merely seen an opportunity and used it. Not exactly ethical, granted, but it's not exactly a surprise, human nature being what it is.

I find it pretty funny how you always come back to this same tired shit when it is a viewpoint you don't agree with.. Do all a favor and point out my shonky ( never heard of such a word ) ones. Thanks.

And sorry but all is to blame ( including those who ignored the license. Still doing it too i might point out )  but yeah the MYBB staff could have been more clear about the license.

In the end it really doesn't matter what you say because as you have stated countless times MYBB is not for YOU. You have found something to bitch about where the project is concerned for just about everything. So really not sure why this subject is of any concern to you.
