Free template usage?

Bucnutz19 · #1 11-15-2006, 11:14 PM

I have just got my website started and downloaded some free templates I found on another site. There weren't much details on the site but basically I was wondering if it is ok for me to use and modify these free templates anyway I like? I am also concerned about using them on a website that makes money and if this could potentially cause any problems. Thanks in advance guys!

Check out the site and see if there is any kind of licensing statement.

Where did you get them?

You can download any of the free designs on Open Source Web Design (OSWD) and use them on your website free of charge.

The designs distributed at OSWD each carry their own seperate open source license which is chosen by the designer when it is submitted to the site. Upon downloading a design, you agree to use the design under its respected license.

If the design doesn't explicitly state restrictions, I think you can do whatever you want with it.
