Re: [fossil-users] Theme dependencies, CLA, & BSD licensing

Or do you require a mailed copy? -J On Thu, Mar 12, 2015 at 12:40 PM, Richard Hipp wrote: > On 3/12/15, James Moger wrote: > > Hi Fossil Community, > > > > I have a question regarding how to proceed with contributing a theme > which > > may have (embedded) dependencies that are not original works of the theme > > author.
