Are Gpl Plugins safe to use?

  • Can someone advise is it safe to use a GPL plugin for WordPress. I have been offered a GPL plugin to trial and very dubious about uploading it into the site. What if anything should I be cautious about? The licenced version is expensive but told could use the Gpl version to see how I get on. Just I don’t know what rules are around this? Will I be OK to use to trial it?

    All WordPress plugins (at least, those from here on www.remarpro.com) are GPL licensed. Tehre’s nothing inherently insecure about GPL licensed code.

    ” I have been offered a GPL plugin to trial ”

    Do you trust the people who’ve offered this to you? Is this a site that offers nulled versions of licensed (paid) plugins? If so, no, do not trust them.
