Every plugin here is GPL
The GNU General Public License is what makes WordPress the platform it is today. Every plugin and theme built for WordPress inherits the GPL license, and that inheritance is what makes WooPlugins possible.
The four freedoms of GPL
The freedom to run the program
Use any GPL plugin for any purpose, on any number of sites, commercial or personal. No usage restrictions.
The freedom to study and modify
Because GPL requires source code, you can inspect and change any plugin. Fork it, patch it, customize it.
The freedom to redistribute copies
You may share the plugin with others. This is the freedom that makes WooPlugins legal.
The freedom to distribute modified versions
You may improve the code and release your improvements, provided you preserve the GPL license.
What we do
WooPlugins purchases legitimate licenses from the original plugin developers. We download the plugin file directly from the developer, verify integrity, and make it available to our community under the same GPL license the developer used. The transaction is legal and covered by the license granted by the developer when they released the plugin as GPL.
What we do not do
- We do not distribute nulled or cracked plugins that bypass licensing checks.
- We do not inject tracking, backdoors, or malware into any file.
- We do not impersonate the original developer or claim ownership of the plugin.
- We do not resell access to the developer's premium support, cloud services, or license server.
Trademarks vs code
GPL covers the code. Trademarks (names and logos) are separate. When we mention "Elementor Pro" or "Yoast SEO Premium" on our site, we do so to accurately describe what a customer is buying. We do not use the trademarks to imply endorsement or partnership.
