<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>
<br>So my question here is where do we stand with the aforementioned license? Acceptable or not?<br><br>Thanks in advance,<br>Zulf<br> </div></div>
