On behalf of the Plone Foundation board of directors, I'm pleased to announce that we've just adopted an official policy for the licensing of Plone themes. The highlights:
* Themes that import from GPL-licensed code must be GPL. * Themes that do not import from GPL-licensed code may be distributed under other licenses. We encourage the use of GPL or Creative Commons licenses. * Any Plone theme may be listed in the products section of Plone.org. Plone theme packages that are uploaded to Plone.org for distribution must be licensed under the GPL, Creative Commons, or similar open-source licenses. The (brief) full text of the policy is at: http://plone.org/foundation/materials/foundation-resolutions/theme-licensing-policy. While long-time Plone contributors might note that this policy is not substantially different from the general Plone add-on products licensing policy, Diazo theming technology makes it far easier to create themes that don't derive from GPL-licensed code and thus we felt that it was worthwhile to address themes specifically. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask here or to send questions to [email protected]. cheers, jon ----- Jon Stahl Plone Foundation Board of Directors _______________________________________________ Product-Developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/plone-product-developers
