Hi!

one of the wordpress themes i bought has a GPL license attached to it- i was wondering what it means?

Those who know, can you tell me if i can install it on unlimited websites of mine and my clients?

Thanks a lot!

    Basically these three things:

    1. You can not take the GPL licence off it.

    2. You must provide the original source code on request.

    3. You can not encrypt or obfuscate that source code.

    Other than that, you can do anything you want with it. So yes, you can do what you're asking.
