Release 3.0 and Themes

<< < (3/5) > >>

Strife89: Here's how it works: You do the porting, and we might include the themes.

(:@): Honestly, you should raise a bug report about that. There shouldn't be included themes missing fonts.

shotofadds: I don't see why the next release can't have different themes if their authors abandon them. It would be ideal if they're modifiable, but I don't think it should explicitly be a requirement, nor do I think it should be the responsibility of the release team to commit to keeping what may be dozens of themes forever up to date with releases.

If we do include themes, we'll probably be picking them ourselves, and it will be much easier on our side if all themes come under the same license, so if you want to be extra sure you might consider the CC-by-SA license, which is popular. There is a good chance we'll frown on themes that have licenses disallowing modification and reuse.

so CC-BY-NC-SA would be ok?

Llorean:
Strictly speaking yes. But remember, the people who are likely  to be picking the themes are people who've chosen the GPL as their project license, and it allows Commercial use as long as that commercial use doesn't break the GPL terms. CC-BY-SA is closer to this than CC-BY-NC-SA. I'm not saying it would rule anything out, because there's no set rule yet, just saying what I think is most likely to be smiled upon.

Especially since CC-BY-NC-SA means that if someone wants to sell DAPs preloaded with Rockbox 3.0 on eBay or something, they have to go through the hassle of removing your theme on each install first. Which may be what you want, but a point may come up in debate that we wouldn't want themes restricting the ease of distribution of everything else.

ZincAlloy:
alright, I'll rerelease my themes under the CC-BY-SA license where possible.

Well, I guess I'll start small - literally - and try a Nano theme or two. :)
