Wordpress Privacy and Copyright Statements

**popowich** · 02-22-2009, 07:13 AM

Hello,

Is it possible to edit the Wordpress privacy and copyright statements?

I'd like to use wordpress in connection with a forum but the forum owners have concerns about the statements what come with the wordpress that I installed.

Are the statements editable, and is it OK with wordpress to edit those statements?

My goal is to have the statements in wordpress match the statements from the site.

You can edit the footer text as you desire. It's not a requirement that you keep the wordpress.org link.

I think it's just like with phpbb
you are free to remove it, but you may not get the support at their support forums.

You are free not to keep the wordpress.org link. And you can add terms & privacy to suit your site, as long as it not break the wordpress rules. Try find more info about it.
