Perfectly said. Further more We would do a blog post about it on hp.o if we decided to include the theme in core, with all the credits due to Squareweave. > I do think we should relax the core attribution requirements slightly. > We should be free to have the theme.xml file point to the original > author's site.

I agree and would recommend, that any plugin or theme in -extras not include any public facing attribution, ie. in theme output; admin would be fine. For themes however, this is debatable. It would certainly encourage more themers to host their themes there. If we do allow attribution on the public facing side,we should do a clear and consise description of what is allowed. Even to the extent of how big it can be and where it can be. We should also require that the links be rel="nofollow"ed. -- Matt Read http://mattread.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/habari-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
