Selling Installations And Customizations of WordPress

  • Is it possible for someone to legally install wordpress for someone, then customize it, and then earn a profit of what they did?

    https://www.action.nu has!

    ?? Just wondering if this is an example many others can follow or not.

  • That should be OK, WordPress is licensed under the GNU GPL, so selling and/or charging for support/installation is allowed, but if they edited the actual WordPress files, they’d have to release it to the public…
    but what they probably sold is a custom WP theme, no a customization of WP itself, which they made, and own the license for, and can release it under any license they want, or keep it private if they want.
    personally, I create private WP themes for clients.
    there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s like charging for a PHP script even though the php language is free, the language/structure is free, my code is not.

    As lobsterman says – Yes and it is legal.
