<div dir="ltr">Isn't no license and public domain non-GPL compatible because I can incorporate it into a non-free work? I could be wrong, but the reason CC0 exists, and is GPL-compatible, is that it prevents someone from reusing something in a non public domain work.</div>

<div><div dir="ltr">yes but saying "none" -<em>it doesnt have a license</em>, <br>is not the same as saying "public domain" (Unless you can tell that the item is created before a certain date what ever date applies in your country.)<br>

<div><div dir="ltr">To my understanding, the only Public Domain license compatible with GPL for WordPress.org purposes is the CC By 0 license - but lately I've been coming across some themes with resources whose license is declared as "None (Public Domain) and I've been advising theme authors that the license/copyright must be explicitly declared.<br>
