Any person or business currently misusing or infringing on the WordPress trademark will need to fix any misuse before their pledge will appear on the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/five-for-the-future\/pledges\/\">Five for the Future pledge page<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Embrace the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/about\/license\/\">WordPress license<\/a>. <em>If distributing WordPress-derivative works<\/em>  (themes, plugins, WP distros), any person or business should give their  users the same freedoms that WordPress itself provides. Note: this is  one step above simple compliance, which requires PHP code to be GPL\/compatible but allows proprietary licenses for JavaScript, CSS,  and images. 100% GPL or compatible is required for promotion on WordPress.org when WordPress-derivative works are involved.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not promote others who fail to respect the WordPress license or  trademark.
