Disclaimer: Understanding GPL Licensing and Our Plugin Distribution
At CMS Craft, we are committed to adhering to the principles and rules of the GNU General Public License (GPL). This disclaimer explains the legal basis for the distribution of plugins and themes provided on this website to ensure transparency and compliance with applicable licensing laws.
What is the GPL?
The GNU General Public License (GPL) is a widely used free software license that guarantees end users the freedom to run, study, share, and modify software. Many WordPress plugins and themes are released under the GPL because WordPress itself is licensed under the GPL. This license permits:
- Redistribution: You are free to share the software with others.
- Modification: You can modify the software and share your modifications.
- No Restrictions: There are no limitations on how you use or distribute the software as long as the same license applies.
Why is This Legal?
All plugins and themes provided on CMS Craft are distributed in compliance with the GPL license. We do not claim ownership of these plugins and themes; instead, we respect and uphold the original developers’ choice to release their work under the GPL.
The GPL explicitly allows:
- Free distribution of the software, whether modified or unmodified.
- Removal of any additional restrictions that may limit user freedoms.
Our distribution aligns fully with these permissions, and we make no modifications to the GPL terms.
What We Offer
- Unmodified GPL Products: The plugins and themes available on CMS Craft are provided “as-is” under the terms of the GPL.
- No Premium Support or Licensing Keys: Please note that we do not provide premium support, updates, or licensing keys that may be required for additional features. These can often be obtained by purchasing the product directly from the original developer.
- Educational and Testing Purposes: The plugins and themes are offered primarily for educational purposes, testing, and experimentation.
