Later today at [WordCamp US 2023](https://us.wordcamp.org/2023/) in National Harbor,
Maryland, USA I’m giving a lightning talk on “[Using a GitHub Action to ensure your plugins are GPL compatible](https://us.wordcamp.org/2023/session/using-a-github-action-to-ensure-your-plugins-are-gpl-compatible/).”

The description of the talk is as follows:

> The WordPress.org plugin directory requires that all plugins must be compatible
> with the GNU General Public License (“GPL”) and recommends GPLv2 or later as the
> same license as WordPress itself. This includes third-party libraries, code, and
> images. With today’s modern development practices and easier contributions on 
> git-based systems like GitHub, you may not even notice a dependency being added
> to your project. I will show you how to utilize a GitHub Action to scan your current
> codebase and ensure that all future pull requests and commits similarly ensure
> that all third-party libraries (aka dependencies) are GPL-compatible so that you
> can rest safe that your plugin can properly maintain its GPL-compatible claim.

Feel free to reach out with any questions on the topic via comments on this post
or [contacting me directly](https://jeffpaul.com/contact/).
