WordPress.org

Welcome!

The WordPress core development team builds WordPress! Follow this site for general updates, status reports, and the occasional code debate. There’s lots of ways to contribute:

Communication

We use Slack for real-time communication. Contributors live all over the world, so there are discussions happening at all hours of the day.

Our core development meeting is every Wednesday at 20:00 UTC in the #core channel on Slack. Anyone can join and participate or listen in!

Licensing & Copyright

GNU GPL GNU GPL

The license under which the WordPress software is released is the GPLv2 (or later) from the Free Software Foundation. A copy of the license is included with every copy of WordPress, but you can also read the text of the license here.

Still lost? We have a beginner’s GPL primer, too.

Third Party Libraries Third Party Libraries

Third-Party libraries must be GPLv2 compatible, but retain their own copyright.

As a contributor, you retain the copyright to your code, however by submitting it to Trac you are releasing it under the GPLv2.

Last updated:

For the GPL bit, can probably pull text directly from http://wayback.fauppsala.se:80/wayback/20200831004113/https://wordpress.org/about/license/

If you want to link up all the Third party libraries, I’d assume you can just yank that from the .org api pull in the credits screen too.
