 ### What license do themes need to have for distribution?
 
-Could someone specify what license the themes need to have to get distributed in ikiwiki or Debian? The current included theme seem to be under the GPLv2. Does the [Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/) also work. This way a lot of free CSS templates could be included, e. g. from [freecsstemplates.org](http://www.freecsstemplates.org/).
