What does GPL Mean?

Most people are familiar with the term ‘open source.’ It means a piece of software or code, that is free to use. You’re free to use, copy, study, change, improve or redistribute the software as you like.

WordPress is open source software and is founded upon the GPL (General Public Licence) that you can read more about over at the WordPress website

The main point to note is that any software that is built upon WordPress must carry forward the original GPL license.

What does this mean for you?

It doesn’t mean that developers can’t charge you to buy the code they have developed.

What it does mean is that once you have bought that code, you are free to do whatever you like with it.

So, it’s perfectly legal to download the plugins and themes from this site. Download as many as you like and use them in as many projects as you want.

Owing a WordPress website should not be expensive

Almost everytime developers don’t adjust price according to what your income is, what you do, or where you live – price should not be a barrier to owning a great WordPress website.
