Hi, my full statement was within the comment: http://www.newmediamaze.com/index.php/antbags-theme-the-facts/

For any readers who can’t be bothered to read through this faily lengthy explanation, in short:

1. The only file that was drawn upon from Ant’s theme was the css file, a fact that we have never denied. Ant accepts this fact: http://antbag.com/my-regrets-about-the-copyright-dispute/.

2. Under Ant’s theme license (CCL), there was no requirement to attribute the work to him in the footer.

3. Under the CCL, he was correctly attributed in the CSS file that was used.

4. Therefore we have abided by the license of Ant’s work and are not guilty of ‘ripping off’ anyone’s work.

please give the correction as prominent coverage as you have the original article, it’s only fair.

kind regards,

Dave

Hi Dave

If you’d like to make a statement i’ll happily add the information as an
update to the post, there
is never any problem with that. If you could clarify why the site appears to
be based on Anthony’s
theme, that would be excellent.

cheers

Andy
