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

20 ### Once one has enabled the 'theme' plugin in the setup file, how does one use themes?
