The folks over at Woobius have offered their sincere apology over what I believe was a simple misunderstanding and have made several changes to their blog design in response to my last post. I appreciate the professional way that they have handled the situation and have decided to retract said post in response to their request.
I am not changing my stance on whether or not my design and content are open source and open to reuse (they are not). I will include a more explicit license to try to prevent such issues in the future. I would very much like to keep my blog’s source publicly viewable on Github. I may need to discuss with the Github team the legal implications of their TOS for public repositories.
I would also like to find a licensing solution that would allow me to open certain parts of the source (my customizations of Webby and the various helpers and tools in my lib directory, for instance) but still allow me to keep the design and content proprietary. I welcome any suggestions in the comment section below.
I wish the Woobius team the best and look forward to seeing the direction that they take with their blog now that this misunderstanding has been cleared up. I hereby officially remove their evildoer status and downgrade them to unfortunate-misunderstanding-doers. I have also called off my Lawyers of Justice.
