One of the core values of the WordPress community is sharing knowledge and experience. It’s one of the basic foundations of the WordPress General Public License (GPL). As part of being an open source platform, the GPL enables anyone to copy and redistribute any piece of code that is related to WordPress - including all plugins and themes created for this platform. Although most developers in the WordPress community don’t abuse this, it’s no secret that there are malicious trolls out there that make a profit by copying entire products and selling them as their own - most of the time for a fraction of the original price - and, by doing so, cause significant financial damage to hard working, honest people.
In this video, we explain the reasons behind how trolls can damage your plugin or theme business financially, and show you ways you can defend yourself, even if your product is licensed under the GPL.

Does prefixing CSS classes protects your code in any legal way? I see many popular theme and plugin business are prefixing their classes.

Nice try, but good luck suing an Indian company that has no contact details on their website.

Again someone who does not understand how the GPL works. The whole thing with licese keys and automatic updates for money is completly illegal and a violation of the GPL. You can charge money for support nothing else. Many companies try to sell you, that their premium plugins have to be paid. This is wrong, a deception and illegal. Only the support has to be paid. If you give out a plugin to the public, you have to enable anyone to get it. Please understand that these businesses are build on a weak base, a viral license. Selling premium plugins under the GPL is aready trolling. ;)

We know the GPL license very well and there's nothing illegal in selling GPL licensed code or restricting updates with license keys, etc., as long as the code is fully provided and not obfuscated. You would want to revise your understanding of the GPL: www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.en.html
