  …or does this also fall under the GPL?

  You are going to have to ask staff about that. I would think they are GPL, but I am not the one to say.

  Okay, thanks.

  Yes, I think GPL, but I just wanted to be sure. ;)

  You need to look into the software package that you downloaded and take a look into it’s licensing terms. If you got it from wordpress.org I think it says it’s licensed under GPL so you can choose the licensing terms from any GPL version released by the FSF.
