What is the license for ruhoh? I know it is none of my business but if you are looking for opinions I would kindly say "please do not use "Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike - BY-NC-SA 3.0)." I wanted to use jeklybootstrap for my fledgling one man consulting shop but I could not because of the license.... EDIT/UPDATE: I just saw this at the bottom of the ruhoh page: "All my work is Unlicensed, Open and Free." Its a little confusing seeing that the jb license says otherwise...

Yeah sorry, actually I updated JB license to Unlicense shortly after I launched it. You are right, it was only because I didn't realize that Creative Commons prohibited commercial use that I chose it in the first place. Jekyll Bootstrap, Ruhoh are completely 100% Unlicensed, or MIT or whatever is the most permissive license available. I want you to use my work to benefit as much as you can Douglas, I'll even email you personally, waiving all rights for your own records. Just shoot me over your email. I love Open Source and I don't want to restrict any body in any way. Thanks for pointing out this confusion!

  The way you could go about this is by stating that it is in the public domain, and for those countries where the public domain doesn't exist that it is under an MIT license. At that point you have covered your bases and I and many others would feel comfortable using/extending/developing with it. Sqlite is public domain for example.

    I'll probably try that then. Initially I chose Unlicense because it addresses the "no license" means someone can go "over your head" and license it. The whole licensing thing is a pain in the ass. And now I see http://unlicense.org http://unlicense.org isn't even resolving anymore! I like the idea of Public Domain with fallback MIT. The main thing is I want it to be un-copyright-able. Thanks for the suggestion and do feel free to check out the development progress on github!
