We have discussed that hundred of times in the past. However let me
try to compare with other mainstream products, in an understandable
way:
a company A delivers materials to a cell manufacturer > The
manufacturer sells ready to be used cells to end users. End users do
not care if the cell use a chip from Company A or B as long as it
works.
the manufacturer reports needs&feedback to the company A, based on its
customers feedback and needs
PHP is the company A, Joomla/Wordpress&co are the cell manufacturers.
