Gordon Brown’s website rip off

Writing by aj@lecraic on Wednesday, 20 of August , 2008 at 10:50 am

Via Caricatures Ireland comes the news that Gordon Brown’s website is using a Wordpress theme, but isn’t adhering to the Creative Commons attribution license.

The theme’s developer says :

The theme has been heavily modified, and looks very different from the original. However, one look at the source files verifies that it is indeed built on NetWorker.

The website in question is apparently the official site of Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and boasts protection under Crown Copyright.

That’s pretty scummy behaviour from the website company that did the development. Bad for the spirit of Creative Commons too.
