I suggest we just release what Carlos as a static website for now. As time goes by, volunteers can build up a separate website using just Royale. At some point we can simply swap out the wp.com site with the new Royale based website.
There is absolutely no requirement that the new site has to look like the wp.com. So, worrying about legal implications of maintaining the same look and feel is premature. Let's not make perfect the enemy of the good.
