Just wanted to know, if anybody else knows if this is free to use then? I tried to contact the author, but he hasn’t replied to me for 2 weeks. Any ideas?
As per the link you posted, that particular plug-in (or player) is licensed under the MIT License, which is pretty similar to their license. Their license allows distributing their plug-ins in commercial projects. That’s what the MIT license is all about. But, the MIT license requires including some notices in the product (the theme) that you’re creating. Take a look at the official webpage of the MIT license.
Thank you. That means I’m required to insert their MIT license? Because I couldn’t find any license file in the download folder I got from their website. Or should I create myself another MIT license for my theme?
From what I understand, the owner (the music player owner) should put the MIT License text in the main folder of the plug-in. Usually people paste the MIT License text in a text file and put that file in main folder. Or they add the MIT License text at the top of the source files as a comment.
Here is what the MIT License text looks like:
The owner is the person who should specify the date and the copyrigh holder’s name. So you really should do your best to contact the owner.
