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.
