Comment (by dd32):

 After chatting with others, the wording here might open more questions
 from some that doesn't quite meet the intention, it might seem nitpicky,
 but when being overly explicit it seems worth it.

 > I confirm this plugin is my own, original, work
  - "It's mine, but I forked JangaBlocks! It's a new work and I've given
 attribution, but it's not entirely my original work?"
  - "I wrote this plugin, but it uses a variety of CC0 licensed works that
 I didn't author?"
  - "Oh yes I clicked that, because it's my plugin, but I just wanted you
 to review it so we could get autoupdates on our site!" (okay, this is
 stretching it.. but..)
  - "The plugin is written by others at the company.. not me? I'm just the
 Open Source rep!"

 I went with a more generic text on the
 [https://wordpress.org/themes/upload/ Themes upload page]:
 > [] I have permission to upload this theme to WordPress.org for others to
 use and share.
 > [] The theme complies with all Theme Guidelines.
 > [] The theme, and all included assets, are licenced as GPL or are under
 a GPL compatible license.

 Perhaps for consistency we can just tweak that for plugins a little?

 > [] I have read the <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins
 /wordpress-org/plugin-developer-faq/">Frequently Asked Questions</a>.
 > [] This plugin complies with all <a
 href="https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/detailed-
 plugin-guidelines/">Plugin Guidelines</a>.
 > [] I have permission to upload this plugin to WordPress.org for others
 to use and share.
 > [] This plugin, all included libraries, and other included assets are
 licenced as GPL or are under a GPL compatible license.
