Thats me. We did not hijack the project, we are fully in line with the licensing. The person who added it to wordpress bought it from us and then stripped all the author details out which breaks the license.
We have always complied with the license governing the coding, but they did not. We are asking them to add the author details back in so that it is in line with the license.
Therefore, we are the company who brought it back to life as we updated it and fixed all the bugs with it. The person who added it to wordpress after illegally editing out author details is the one who has broken the license.
