GPL & Open Source Licensing Policy
Last updated: November 2026
Non-Negotiable Commitment: All Joomla extensions developed and distributed by Codextra.dev are licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL-2.0-or-later) or a compatible free software license.
1. Your Rights Under the GPL
Because our extension code is licensed under the GPL, you are free to:
- Run the software for any purpose on an unlimited number of websites and domains.
- Study and inspect the complete, unobfuscated source code.
- Modify and adapt the code to suit your project requirements.
- Redistribute copies in accordance with the terms of the GNU General Public License.
2. What Your Commercial Subscription Covers
Payment for a Codextra commercial subscription does not revoke your open source rights. Instead, commercial fees provide:
- Access to continuous, verified updates via the native Joomla Update Manager.
- A secure Download ID (DLID) authenticating your update stream.
- Direct technical support from our development team.
- Access to private release repositories, release notes, and documentation.
3. Subscription Expiry
When a commercial subscription expires, your installed extensions will never cease to function, disable features, or lock down. You simply lose access to new update packages and direct technical support until you choose to renew.
