This repository is *not* open source. In the past I just did not put a license file here and that would have been sufficient to get the meaning across but apparently some people have a different understanding of how licensing works. Notice that the website says that content is licensed under the Creative Commons attribution-noncommercial- sharealike License. This does not apply for the repository however and only applies to the text on the website that is generated from the source files in this repository. FAQ part: Why is it on github then? So that people can see how rstblog is being used, for learning purposes, because you can use the git history to track changes being made, so that you can help me fix typos by sending pull requests etc. Why is only the text on the website creative commons licensed and not the source files? Because it expresses the intent I have for it. You are allowed to republish the content under the terms of the license. How can you do pull requests if the sources are not open source? Because I am the copyright holder and from a legal point of view I grant you the right to correct a mistake in my work which then becomes part of the result. Furthermore I only accept pull requests for minor modifications that for which you cannot claim copyright anyways which makes it possible for me to accept your changes without you having to surrender your rights. Aren't you taking this too far? What protects open source developers is copyright and licenses. When it comes to licenses I take this very serious indeed. Independent of me taking this stuff very serious it does however not mean that I will become an asshole when it comes to enforcing this. I will send you an unhappy mail or complain about this through twitter or somehow else but I am a person of reason. If you think you want some part of the website licensed for your personal use there are ways to do that if you are nice. TL;DR: NOT OPEN SOURCE
