According to the MIT license (also stated as MIT on https://themes.gohugo.io/hugo-icon/ ) I am allowed to use/modify this theme however I see fit, but https://themes.gohugo.io/hugo-icon/ states otherwise.

I have no issue with paying money for the theme, but it would be nice if it was stated somewhere that this is not actually licensed under MIT if it is not.

Great port btw, super easy to customize :+1:

Sure - good point, thanks. The original license for the theme is CC BY 3.0 as you state - so as long as the attribution stands for freehtml5 and any changes are acknowledged, then using is fine. Paying them just removes the acknowledgement.

Clearly I should then clarify - the hugo-specific templates are MIT, the design is CC BY 3.0.
