Open Source

GPL-2.0 License

Both PizzaLayer (free) and PizzaLayerPro (paid) are released under the GNU General Public License v2.0. Open source, no proprietary lock-in.

🔓

PizzaLayer

Free & GPL-2.0

The core plugin is free of charge and GPL-licensed. Download, use, modify, and redistribute freely under the terms of the GPL.

⭐

PizzaLayerPro

Paid & GPL-2.0

PizzaLayerPro is sold commercially but is also GPL-licensed. A purchase funds development — it does not restrict your GPL rights.

What GPL-2.0 Means for You

The GNU General Public License (GPL) guarantees your freedom to use, study, share, and modify the software. Key rights under GPL-2.0:

  • Freedom to use — Run the plugin for any purpose, on any number of sites.
  • Freedom to study — Inspect and learn from the source code.
  • Freedom to modify — Customize the plugin to suit any project.
  • Freedom to distribute — Share copies of the original or modified code, provided the GPL license is retained.

These freedoms apply to both PizzaLayer and PizzaLayerPro. Purchasing PizzaLayerPro provides access to the code, updates, and support — the GPL rights come with the software regardless.

Copyleft & Distribution

GPL-2.0 is a copyleft license. If a modified or extended version of PizzaLayer or PizzaLayerPro is distributed, the distribution must also be under GPL-2.0. This ensures derivative works remain open.

Themes, plugins, or code that merely use PizzaLayer via its public API, REST endpoints, or shortcodes are not considered derivative works and are not required to be GPL-licensed.
