Hi Marc, :-) As I said, I do understand your concerns. But I'm wondering what Alex might have to say about law and convention, and Internet flotsam and jetsam.
What does one do when one finds a perfectly serviceable template but cannot, in all good faith, find the author? Wouldn't it be enough to have an attribution "Currently Anonymous" and to say briefly where we found it? And if that template is found in a location that is basically distributing "free" commodities (GPL, CC, etc.), then are we doing anything really wrong in doing more work on it and passing it on to the world? After all, if there is a complaint, we can always remove it. I do understand the concern for attribution of credit. But what about the person that does maintenance and development on previously-existing templates? That's work that goes completely unrecognized, right? There's always a certain amount of work one does for FOSS that simply goes without recognition... I think you get the idea of what I mean. So what do you think? Any comment from Alex?
