 Yes this skin looks good, although I managed to contact MDBootsrap by mistake even though it was a link to their website (I thought it was DNNmdesign) and they claim this code was ripped off them and I should not use as it is illegal??, what is your take on this

 BTW, I contacted the developer of the skin. He is not aware that it's illegal. He will contact MDBootstrap to sort that out.

I dowloaded some of the templaes off his site and I have say they are very good indeed.. I need to upgrade my Community site and then if the legality is sorted I can make a start with the skin as well.

Cheers

Stuart,

I cannot find anything about illegal stuff... Could you provide a link to where you found this?

Happy DNNing!

Oh Dear,

This was in an email reply from MDBootstrap to a support question,  I clicked the link from the DnnMDesign demo thinking they were the creators of this excellent skin.
The fact that plenty of references to MDBootsrap was provided on the demo site indicates this may be just a misunderstanding, but I suggest you should contact them direct to ask the question.

Hi all,

After being notified about this by Timo, which I was unaware of, I contacted MDBootstrap to first find out if there was a problem. They have now got back to be explaining where to problem was, this is what they have said:

" If you check our license (http://mdbootstrap.com/license/) you will notice that it forbids embedding MDB into other projects.That's the reason why our support claim it to be illegal."

At the moment I do indeed embed the MDB project in the MDesign theme.

The good news is that the good people from MDB have given me a waver to use their great framework as I do now....

"However, I have discussed your case with the team and we have decided that taking into consideration all you mentioned, we will make an exception give your project a waver to use mdb although it violates our license."

Although I have a waver I have suggested that, instead of embedding MDB I would use a CDN instead. I have asked them if they supply this.

So if you want to use the MDesign theme go ahead and enjoy the great combination of DNN, MDesign and MDB!

Enjoy and a big thanks to Dawid and the MDBootstrap team!

Regards,

Geoff!
