Thanks for sharing!

Firs of all: Thanks Tamer for your willingness to share with the GPLDL community! Unfortunately 99% of all Themeforest Themes are licensed under a split license (Code is GPL, CSS and graphics proprietary). That means, that these files are not 100% GPL, which is a requirement for all items on this website. Even if the files were 100% we cannot accept them as uploads etc. since we then could not ensure that the code has not been modified.

Thanks Mohamed for the bug report and also for your kind donation! Both are much appreciated!

You are welcome!

None is 100% GPL licensed.

The Donation Indicator shows if the expenses have been covered (purely the costs for subscriptions). When 100% is reached, we will consider adding more themes and plugins from the wishlist.

1. Log in with FTP to your server, 2. rename the folder of the old plugin version, 3. upload the folder with the unzipped new version of the plugin, 4. delete the renamed folder of the old plugin version.

Finesse is a Themeforest item with a split license – not 100% GPL. We will not provide it here.

It just got updated to 1.9.3.!

Thanks for the notification, Martin. We’ve updates WooCommerce Variation Swatches and Photos to 1.6.9.

No prob! Good to hear that the “test-drive” prevented you from buying the wrong product!

What exactly do you mean by “DIVI style templates”? Everything that is released by Elegant Themes and related to the Divi WordPress Theme is included in the .zip-file that you can find in the repository.

Kate, thanks again for sharing this very insightful analysis. Your thoughts are very much appreciated!

We agree with a lot of points you have raised here. Indeed it is not the easiest thing to strike a balance between the ethos not to charge for downloads and receiving donations to grow GPLDL.

We have had a lot of discussions in our team about how to organize memberships.

We are crystal clear that the mission of GPLDL is to make free software free for everyone. This especially includes people who neither have the financial means to buy directly from the developers nor are able to make a donation. With this particular group of people in mind, we cannot imagine to charge our users (in general) and therefore hope that those who can afford to give something back will also cover the expenses for those who cannot.

We also will keep donations completely voluntary and reject the idea of “forced donations”- or “donate and reward”-models. We believe that this is not a true, genuine donation but a “hidden membership fee”.

Instead we would love to hear from our users who need more downloads or additional services to manually increase their download limits or improve and extend GPLDL’s services in other ways. We are curious to learn about their particular needs and see how we can add additional value for them.

Since we have just started out – actually we are still beta! -, we are very excited to see that a lot of users have registered and are enjoying GPLDL and we are grateful to those who instantly made donations.

Thanks Dave for your Feedback. We need to address this!
