Recently, I received a message asking if it was OK to use the templates. This was somewhat surprising to me. They're free templates. Go and have fun! HA HA. But yeah, if you're working on a commercial project, you might be looking for something more official.
So, here it is... the Photics Public License (PPL)
I thought about using the MIT license, but I don't want the templates distributed on a stand-alone basis. The PPL was created to emphasize that distinction. If people are looking for unaltered templates, then they should get them from Photics.com. I don't mind if people pass around the templates privately to their friends and co-workers. But if shared publicly, it should be done via a link to the Photics.com template page.
If you've already been using the templates in your projects, that's great! This is change is not about harassing you. If you notice, I put "Attribution Recommendation" — not "Attribution Requirement" — because I want to be friendly to people that previously used the templates.
This change is more in response to this... https://choosealicense.com
An open source license protects contributors and users. Businesses and savvy developers won’t touch a project without this protection.
In other news...
A new template is scheduled for Tuesday. It's a response to this thread...
