- analog 14y agoWe were told by one of their support team that we were not allowed to alter the theme to hide the link to wordpress.com. This is on a paid account. So they may say it is GPL, but in practice it's not.
- djt 14y agoyou mean the link in the Footer? It may be in the terms of the Hosting contract?
- analog 14y agoYes that's it. But if the terms of the hosting contract limit what you can do with the code then in it's not GPL. They distribute the css, in that they let us edit it, but they limit what we can do with it. Not GPL.
- Dylan16807 14y agoYeah and I bet they don't let you edit /etc/passwd either. Restrictions on their server have nothing to do with copyleft.
- analog 14y agoRight, because it's a security issue to restrict how you edit the css.
- evansolomon 14y agoanalog, which part of the GPL does that violate? I think you're wrong. The GPL governs code, not services (even services that use GPL code).
- DannyBee 14y agoI see nothing in this source repo that says they are GPL'd. What am i missing?
