Our official website theme is another tool to help build Haiku's brand
equity. As such, the intent, at least originally, was to use it only
for the official website(s) and for Haiku user group sites. This
common theme would help strengthen the Haiku brand and convey a sense
of unity between the project and the community (which are one and the
same, after all).

Personally, I would prefer to keep it that way, because otherwise we
could start seeing sites unrelated to Haiku using the theme, something
that not only would not serve the purpose of the theme, but it would
actually dilute it's ability to strengthen out image.

But I know that others disagree with this position; so if the general
sentiment is that this theme should be released for anyone to use,
then I will not stand on the way.

In your specific case, Dennis, if the Haiku related site you are
working on is for a HUG, then there should be no problem. What files
you need to get will depend on what version of Drupal you use.
