提供給各位使用、設計或移值模版的使用者參考看看。

我想站在對人性的基本尊重上，再次強調希望大家能尊重模版原作者的版權。

該保留的還是請大家保留一下!!! :-)
雖然老外看不懂中文，也不懂我們拿它的模版做那些事，
更甚者，他們可能永遠也不會知道有那個傢伙用了他們設計的模版，然後把他們的名字或其它東西拿掉的。

但是，我還是希望，能給作者一個基本的尊重！！！

以上 Orz。

Theme ripoffs
May 15th, 2006
As most of the themes are now on display for the WordPress 2.0 Theme Competition, perhaps a few words are warranted about themes that are being ported and in some cases, blatantly ripped off.

Many of the themes in the Theme Viewer, and indeed within the competition itself, are not original works. This is not a hidden fact. In some cases this is fine because the original designers have no problem with other people taking their themes and using them however they wish. A credit back to the original designer has always been the unspoken rule to follow though, as it signifies respect and credit where it is due, but it is not law. It is up to each designer to make that call.

However, one theme in this competition made my eyes roll as I first laid eyes upon it because it was clearly a ripoff of a very well known design by a very well known designer. My first reaction was to just ignore it and get on with uploading the other themes for the competition. It was a very busy period, with themes flying around every which way, but with my eyes falling out of my head from lack of sleep, I decided to quickly throw the theme online as normal - with a few added features. I made a simple alteration to the enclosed screenshot - a DISQUALIFIED banner right across it - which I thought would show others that we do not tolerate such blatant theft of someone else’s work.

I made a mistake though because I had left the zips in place which meant that others could download the ripoff and use it themselves. This was only online for about 30 minutes and I soon took them down when I realised my error.

There have been quite a few things said about how this was handled, from the original site designer himself and a few people’s opinions on the competition site itself.

I stand by my decision to put the ripoff on display because I think we need to show that this is not acceptable. I knew there would be a reaction and this is a good thing. Theft should not be tolerated and this has highlighted that fact.

I see that the original designer has now decided to release the design under a GPL licence which is very generous, but let this be a warning to any designers from this point on. We will be monitoring the theme submissions more thoroughly in the future and will gladly name and shame any designer who takes work which clearly states it should not be cloned.

This does not affect anyone who ports themes or alters themes which are allowed under the rules of their licence, but designers who copy themes such as that mentioned above will be dealt with harshly, honestly and with the contempt they deserve.

其實東西上網，就要有隨時被抄的準備。

但是這也顯示出，部分人對於創作者的不尊重 ：抄襲，佔為己有。甚至原創作人提出抗議，有人還認為我用你的東西是抬舉你，看得起你才用，你有什麼好囉唆。  :-S

很難想像，如果：

1. Open source 的 developer 不再 Open Source
2. Designer 不再公開分享創作

不過，這樣的情況已經慢慢發生了。  :-)

如果大家希望這樣的創作能繼續，請尊重原創作者的版權。

做人要厚道。

你的作品不优秀，人家也不会看上你，哈哈，MARK说得对，

WordPress　有一次模板比赛跳票，被网友骂得够呛

Hi nba23:
我想你可能誤解mark說那句話的意思了 :-$ (注意看一下最後面的圖示)

雖然說在怎麼優秀的創新還是有可能被抄襲，但應該沒有人會願意自己辛苦的創作被任意的模仿和抄襲的。
尤其是對那些靠創新賺錢的人來說更是如此。

李博士的話，我當然也完全讚同，但是要做到那樣的地步，我想應該也要"適合"的環境吧!!!
如果不是Google那樣的環境，這些建議應該也只能當成建議吧  :-P

看來整句話，我得改寫成


才不會被誤會。 :-)
