 * Pretty much, no.
 * WordPress is licensed with the GPL license, which means that anything that you
   create that uses the WordPress system must also be licensed under GPL. That means
   that the source code is available for anyone that wants it and it can be modified
   and copied as needed. if you need something to be closed-source, then WordPress
   is not the right base to start with.
