1 points · Open discussionIf you follow the discussions on github, the latest consideration is to use AGPL. For a CSS library. But fear not!

Well, if he goes that far, perhaps Google or Twitter lawyers will finally put an end to this.

In A modern responsive front-end framework based on Material DesignThe main issue with bootstrap-material is that this project is afflicted by the dreaded "developer thinks he needs his own license" bug[0][1].
It's effectively CC BY-SA-NC which is rather bold when you consider that it's adopting a design framework from Google for a css framework from Twitter.

In Material Design for BootstrapFezVrasta - Nice work!
I'm curious about your choice of license[0]. I've been considering the use of a non-commercial license for a project I'm working on. Would you mind discussing:
1. Your motivation for the choice. Is it to prevent people from reselling the theme?
2. The impact, if any, that the choice has had on adoption. With the popularity of the project, it doesn’t seem to be an issue. In your experience are users not using your project to built commercial application? Or are they violation the terms (un)intentionally?
3. Your longterm objectives for the project. Do you plan on making this into a business by selling commercial licenses? Do you plan on having a standard commercial license fee, or do you believe it works better to negotiate each license independently?
Thanks!
