Haiku Inc. has started an inquiry into the the matter of the copyright
claim by Jorge G. Mare on the website team. There are uncertainties
about the fact that the theme is a derivative work of the Acquia theme
that is released under the GPL license.
The code may be GPL, so you can chew it or have it for dinner if you
want. However, the art is not covered by this or any other software
license. I have exclusive rights over the art, and it is up to me who
can use it or not.
While the board respects anybody's interest in distributing their work
under compatible licensing terms, we also have the responsibility to
carefully weigh the alternatives when it comes to removing work that
is such an essential part of the Haiku ecosystem.
It is therefore our decision to continue to use the website theme
until there is a reasonable alternative, or if it is determined that
there is a legal need to replace it.
That being the case, I use this medium to make you aware that if you
continue to use my theme, you are doing so against my will and without
my permission, and thus are in violation of the exclusive rights that I
have over the work granted to me by copyright law as the sole author of
the work.

Jorge / aka Koki
