I want to modify the built-in simple theme, because it’s almost good enough for my purposes, but I want a little more controllability, a couple other page types with different styling, a few more knobs like menu text color, etc. etc.
I’m pretty sure I’m able to do this with the simple theme, since it’s part of Publii/in the source code which is distributed under GPLv3. Is that correct?
If I wanted to share my modifications with friends or publicly, what would I need to include, license-wise?
What if I wanted to do this with other themes? I’m assuming that’s on a case-by-case basis, whatever licenses the theme maker decided to use?
(I’m not asking about the technical how – that’s easy enough, the tutorials were good, so far I’ve been able to easily modify the theme source code and I’m assuming I can do some of it with theme overrides – I’m just asking about the usage/rights/licenses how, since I’m still unsure of how FLOSS stuff works.)
TL;DR Publii itself is FLOSS, right? but I’m not sure about whether or how that extends to themes or not and would like someone to explain it to me.
