WordCamp 2023: Using a GitHub Action to ensure your plugins are GPL compatible
November 25, 2023. 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.
