  • Notify the uploader or content source of the takedown.
  • Maintain a record of the takedown for compliance purposes.

6. Note on GPL Software

WordPress plugins, themes, and PHP scripts that build on WordPress are required by WordPress.org policy to be GPL-licensed. The GPL explicitly grants the right to redistribute. If a product is GPL-licensed, redistribution is not copyright infringement under the GPL. However, we will still review all claims in good faith.
