FAQs
See Licensing FAQs for more details, explanations & examples.
What are the main differences between the Standard license and the Extended license?
In simple terms, the main difference is that under the standard license, your end product (incorporating the item you've licensed) is distributed for free (for end user only), whereas under the extended license your end product may be sold.
What is a single use?
A single use means one unique end product (which can be copied and made available to end users of that product). The end product depends on the nature of the item - for an item like a website, the end product is the final, unique website, which can be used in unlimited ways.
Example: A website theme can only be customised to create one customised website. If you want to create a second website from the same theme, you should purchase another license.
What does '100% GPL' on an item mean?
Sometimes an author will chose to distribute a theme or plugin item on the basis that it's 100% GPL (GPL stands for "general public license" and is an open source license). If so, this is noted on the item page and license information will be included in the download files. In these cases, the GPL license applies to the whole item instead of the terms of the Regular or Extended License. Different versions of the GPL exist and the relevant version of the GPL will identified. You will need to make sure that you read and abide by the GPL terms. Other items have a split license
