iThemes Goes GPL

by Chris Jean
June 11th, 2009

Hello again my faithful readers. Again, I am terribly sorry for the lack of posts recently. I’ve been extremely busy at work with some huge projects.

I work for iThemes doing back-end development for themes and “special projects”. Previously, I never wanted to talk about it much on my blog because we weren’t GPL, and that can cause a lot of commotion. I don’t have to worry about that anymore. As of today, iThemes is GPL.

This is a very exciting move for us. We’ve talked about it internally for a long time. I’m glad that we’ve finally made the change.

If you’d like to know more about the change, please check out the official announcement.
