Google News Extension comes with Free Software License. You Can Use WordPress SEO News Extension For Free By Ex-DMOZ Editor Joost de Valk.There is no Crack or Reverse Engineering. The extension is available on GitHub with GNU GPL 3.0 License and on main plugin file, obviously we can modify, re-distribute EVEN sale.
Use WordPress SEO News Extension as Free Software : Where is Freedom?
But we are not in the line of selling software aka trying to restrict the users’ freedom in by any means. One possible malware function to connect with his website has been switched off by this modification. We are not giving you the software, we have one copy, if you can not download from Github, ask us; we will give you one copy. That is called Freedom of Free Software. Freedom is not about money, we mean to say; if you ask how Joost de Valk became Ex-DMOZ Editor from DMOZ Editor, that answer might not be Free by cost!
You might have to pay for that type of support. So, we forked it from his rep to my repo – https://github.com/AbhishekGhosh/wpseo-news. Here is the screenshot proof that it is Free Software :

Freedom resides at rms@gnu.org. If you have psychological problem, ask Richard Stallman what is Free Software.
Use WordPress SEO News Extension as Free Software : Where is the File For Freedom?
Freedom file is this file – https://github.com/AbhishekGhosh/wpseo-news/blob/trunk/classes/class-product.php.
We have modified the file to null the potential malware function :
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 |
<?php if ( ! class_exists( 'WPSEO_News_Product' ) ) { /** * Class WPSEO_News_Product */ class WPSEO_News_Product extends Yoast_Product { public function __construct() { parent::__construct( 'https://wordpress.com', 'News SEO', plugin_basename( WPSEO_News::get_file() ), WPSEO_News::VERSION, 'https://wordpress.com', 'admin.php?page=wpseo_licenses#top#licenses', 'wordpress-seo-news', 'Yoast' ); } } } |
Instead of https://wordpress.com, there was these lines :
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
public function __construct() { parent::__construct( 'https://yoast.com/edd-sl-api', 'News SEO', plugin_basename( WPSEO_News::get_file() ), WPSEO_News::VERSION, 'https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/news-seo/', 'admin.php?page=wpseo_licenses#top#licenses', 'wordpress-seo-news', |
We suggest you to change both from https://wordpress.com to your domain or IP. If you perform a cURL :
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
curl -I https://yoast.com/edd-sl-api HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Server: Sucuri/Cloudproxy Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2015 08:05:34 GMT Content-Type: application/json Connection: keep-alive Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=b1bvutnt02lr0toj3cf9jdho87; path=/ Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0 Pragma: no-cache Set-Cookie: edd_items_in_cart=deleted; expires=Thu, 01-Jan-1970 00:00:01 GMT; path=/; domain=yoast.com |
The malware function will track you and construct a URL like :
|
1 |
https://yoast.com/edd-sl-api?xxxx-000 |
and do a request towards that server. With this modification for removal of third party domain, the Plugin will 100% working but it will nagging like a bigger for money. That we can not say here how to remove. Then we have to re-write it from scratch.
As in Free Software world, we have not taken Ex-DMOZ Editor Joost de Valk’s Freedom. His begging of $69 for few PHP files function is ON. Except asking for the Zip file, you should not contact us about this matter. Ex-DMOZ Editor Joost de Valk will give you support after payment.
If you want to fork ours and work, we have no problem. If that is beggar is reading this webpage, we should contact rms@gnu.org for discussion of the matter NOT us.
How to Use and Security Vulnerabillity
Install it like a Plugin. You need not to do anything with License information. It will be 100% working with WordPress SEO. There can be security vulnerability in the plugins. So poor quality coding usually associated with more bigger issues. Actually WordPress SEO should be checked for any call towards his website.
His claim is fully false – there is no API function which construct the XML files. It is 100% PHP and WordPress which does it. It is nicely working in the Post Dashboard. In that way analyzing API, we will reach at physical processor’s firmware!
Definitely you can take Ex-DMOZ Editor and Micro-format specialist Joost de Valk’s service for the support of the Plugin. We also take paid support for HP Helion OpenStack from HP. But HP Helion OpenStack is itself a Free Software. After installation remove the backlinks towards his website. If he continues “development” on GitHub, then upload the new version.
If you have his other softwares with Free Software License then send us, we will convert them to better plugins. Thousands of peoples working behind Apache2, Nginx, PHP are not getting money. Why make a small website owner fool?
