Is there anyone who made a phpBB look-a-like style?

Or do I have to be the first one?

Hmm..FUDforum initially took things verbatim from phpBB, and I think anyone with eyes can still see the resemblance..though the FUDforum layout is cluttered and the graphics are barely readable Smile

Quote:

You can be the first, keep in mind phpbb style is not open source. So you may encounter licensing issues if you duplicate it.

phpBB's subSilver is released under the GNU GPL, just like the rest of phpBB; if you don't consider that open source you probably shouldn't be trying to run an open source project Smile

Quote:

The actualy phpBB subSilver is opensource if you:
A. Give credit to phpBB
B. Don't copy everything exactly

You only have to give the credit required under the GPL, which is actually quite permissive; notice in the source/authors files is 'fine' Smile

And there is nothing in the GNU GPL to prevent you copying the style exactly Smile

Not interested, if you want to make your forum like exactly like phpBB you are more then welcome to do so, the tools to do it are in place. But I prefer to have FUDforum with a unique identity rather that of phpBB.

Good thing that FUDforum doesn't copy phpBB's stylistic elements verbatim any more then, eh? Smile

If you want a truly unique stylistic identity for FUDforum you should develop a professional-quality, well-thought-out and useable style that doesn't look like a poor ripoff of phpBB's subSilver Smile

Oops, I trolled Rolling Eyes
