GPL

Amplify.com is built on top of Wordpress MU, a project from Automattic which is licensed under the GPL.

With that in mind, we wanted to say a few quick words about our approach regarding open source software and our use of open source projects, as well as our intentions for releasing our own products under the GPL.

At Amplify, we’re committed to openness and the GPL both in letter and in spirit. Any software which is built on top of GPL licensed code will be released under the same license. Additionally, it is our intention to release any additional Wordpress plugins, themes and other software we’ve developed to power Amplify under the GPL as well, with some exceptions relating to security of our particular installation and implementation of our internal Clipping API.

Finally, in some cases we have opted to use plugins developed by third parties which are not licensed under the GPL. In these cases, we will respect the original copyright and licensing of the original authors.

Amplify is currently undergoing heavy development during our private Beta phase. Once the codebase has stabilized, we intend to make a public release of our code available. Until that time, we are happy to address individual requests and answer any questions at help@amplify.com.

Thanks

-The Ampify Team
