### What license do themes need to have for distribution?
2010-06-23 18:51:50 +02:00
Could someone specify what license the themes need to have to get
distributed in ikiwiki or Debian? The current included theme seem to be
under the GPLv2. Does the [Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported
License](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/) also work. This way a
lot of free CSS templates could be included, e. g. from
[freecsstemplates.org](http://www.freecsstemplates.org/). --PaulePanter
