What is the GPL?

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. WordPress is open-source software founded upon the GPL (General Public License). You can read more about it on the WordPress website. The main point is that any software built upon WordPress must carry the original GPL license.

What does this mean for you?

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

A short disclaimer

The main difference between the developer and us is that we do not offer full technical support. This is how we can redistribute the software at a fraction of the original price.

So, if you need ongoing technical support for a product, please consider buying from the developer. Links to each developer are provided on the product pages.

We make it clear that whilst the products on GPL Downloads are the original product, we are not the original developers. We are simply redistributing the software, as it is our right to do so, under the GPL license.
