Is this legal?
Yes, it is 100% legal. All WordPress items such as plugins and themes are licensed under the General Public License (GPL). This means that once we have purchased the item, we are free to redistribute it if we choose to do so.
Your purchase on our site goes towards maintaining and buying new subscriptions to third-party theme and plugin authors. This form of crowdfunding helps keep prices low and we can then pass this benefit on to you.
Legal Compliance
We strictly adhere to the terms of the GNU GPL license and international copyright laws.
Original Files
We do not provide nulled or cracked items. All files are original and untouched.
GPL Myths vs. Facts
"GPL products are illegal or pirated."
Fact: GPL is a legal framework. Themes and plugins are "derivative works" of WordPress, which is itself GPL. Therefore, they inherit the GPL license. Redistribution is a fundamental right granted by the license.
"I need a license key to use the product."
Fact: License keys are usually only for automatic updates and support from the developer. The software itself functions perfectly without a key because the code is open-source under GPL.
"GPL files contain viruses."
Fact: While some "warez" sites might add malicious code, **GPL Group Lab** provides only original, untouched files directly from the authors. We scan every file to ensure it is 100% clean.
