Hi Justin, good questions. I think take a comercial product to build a site for marketing purposes is different to take some code to be incorporated to our project codebase, or make it work with that code. In this case, is only a "face" of our real project and we are not planning to change it, or resell it or something like that.
In the other hand, if we need to commit this comercial theme (the code) to some asf repo, I think that would be a problem. I think we should think about this as if we use some MS Azure Server, or whatever other software, we should only use for public face, and we don't should be pushing to a repo server since nobody must touch that website code since is not the code we want people to use and we want to promote. Is code we use to promote our code... Carlos 2017-10-02 3:19 GMT+02:00 Justin Mclean <[email protected]>: > Hi, > > I looked at the placeholder for the new site.
