[QUOTE="tomtom21000, post: 1316, member: 10287"] First of all: I am not familiar with the GPL licence. But are the skins also open source and under GPL license? I am asking because in the short time being we have got some decent skins like "Silicon" from Samsonite or the promising "Naley Evolution" from Harley. But we had also "Cosmicmyth" by vaeanu which I liked very much in the beginning and is not working anymore with current MP releases. Now, MediaPortal is developping fast and it is quit some work to keep a skin up-to-date so it can be used with current releases. Things might go easier with 0.1, but I don´t really beleave it.. I think it should be of interest to have a solid legal foundation to use the graphics of a skin. If, for example, the original skinner (artist) does not have the time or is not willing to work on his skin anymore, it would be good if someone else could use his work and adjust the skin to new things. Not that anyone claims rights on the graphics later. I am not at all referring to anyone involved in skinning these days, it is a mere theoretical thought I came across by the post of epoch1970, who even suggested to put the documentation under GPL All this goes also for plug-ins. But probably this issue is solved in the moment it iis delivered as part of MP. tomtom21000 [/QUOTE]
