Can you provide a link to the specific theme? On first look, I don't see how this can be appropriate for building any major part of an Apache project's web presence. The licenses there would seem to prevent other people from forking any of the website, which would not be appropriate. For example, the License FAQ:
"8. You can’t re-distribute the Item as stock, in a tool or template, or with source files. You can’t do this with an Item either on its own or bundled with other items, and even if you modify the Item. You can’t re-distribute or make available the Item as-is or with superficial modifications. These things are not allowed even if the re-distribution is for Free." That seems to say that you couldn't put the theme files in a public SVN repository, which means... other project committers couldn't build the website. Reminder: it's a good idea to get feedback here on general@, but if the feedback you get doesn't have a definitive answer, then head over to the Legal Affairs Committee to get a specific answer. -- - Shane IPMC & Member The Apache Software Foundation peng-yongsheng wrote on 7/25/18 10:34 AM: > Hello Incubator PMC’ers, > > I purchased a WordPress theme from the site of https://themeforest.net, > and this theme's license is a regular license. > > This license description is: > 1.
