What is GPL?
Understand the License That Powers WordPress
🔍 What Does “GPL” Mean?
GPL stands for GNU General Public License. It’s a free software license created by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) that allows anyone to freely use, modify, and share software. This license gives users full freedom and control over the software they use.
WordPress and most of its themes and plugins are distributed under the GPL license. That means you have the right to:
- ✔ Use the software for any purpose
- ✔ Study how the software works
- ✔ Modify it to suit your needs
- ✔ Share original or modified versions with others
At GPLTree.com, we legally redistribute premium WordPress plugins and themes under the terms of the GPL license—at a fraction of the original cost.
🛠️ How to Use GPL Products
Using GPL products is simple and flexible. Here’s how it works:
- Download from GPLTree
Browse and purchase any GPL-licensed WordPress theme or plugin. - Install Normally
Upload the plugin or theme to your WordPress website just like any other file from the official site. - No Activation Needed
GPL products may ask for a license key, but this is usually for automatic updates or support—not for functionality. All features are typically unlocked and usable without a license key. - Use Anywhere, Anytime

We regularly update products so you can always access the latest secure versions.
