GPL are safe. There are no risks associated with the use of such themes.
The only thing to keep in mind is to use a GPL source that you can trust. There are many options out there. You need to look for the one that has a good reputation in the market.
I highly recommend you to use Srmehranclub which is the best GPL site and provides a huge number of Popular GPL WordPress premium plugins and themes, they also provide 24//7 phone support so if you get any issues then you can contact them anytime.
So, use GPL themes and plugins without any kind of worry. These products don’t cause any kind of safety and security risks.
Yes, GPL themes are safe unless it’s been modified by someone and added some malicious codes, so if you use GPL themes from trusted sites then it’s definitely safe.
How to check if a file has malicious codes added or not?
I think only few can be malicious, use grabplugin, nobuna and srmehranclub (some of the few sites that are providing genuine).
or you can search reviews of other users as well on that particular theme.
You can check if anyone modifies the code or not from here: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload
But, I suggest not to use GPL themes, Always go for original.
Yes , GPL themes are safe.
Yes they are safe. I have used. Till now I have no problem .
GPL license has nothing to do with safety, even if you buy the software directly from the people who made it, the license would be GPL.
But if you are thinking about GPL clubs, that sell the software much cheaper, with some clubs it is safe with others not.
