As of now it is not obvious that anyone has permission to use this theme on their website. If you wish to distribute it, consider choosing one of the open source licenses: https://choosealicense.com/

I suggest MIT license. Unless previous contributors specified the license on their works via other channels, changing a license requires agreement from each one of them.

Therefore, I'm pinging all of previous contributors.

Do you agree to change the license for pelican-chameleon to MIT license?

Please reply in the comments. Thank you

I agree.

I would be good with the MIT license but given that this request is not coming from @yuex who built 99% of this and there is no record of a dialog with @yuex visible to me where I could see whether say MIT would be his first or last choice, this ticket feels weird to me so far. Yes, let's ask for clearing up licensing of this great theme and yes, licensing matters. But I would like to hear @yuex first so we don't run him over.

@yuex what do you think about the licensing situation of pelican-chameleon?

PS: Thanks again for chameleon, it serves https://libexpat.github.io/ very well to this day.

@hartwork thanks for the reminder. I am fine with the license change. Glad you like the theme. It's already a long time ago. =)

@sio thanks for taking care of this.

hartwork commented 5 years ago

Thanks to all who replied! :+1: And thank you for creating this awesome theme!

For some weird reason GitHub contributors page provides incomplete information. I've added @nibocn to the top post based on git shortlog -se
