    Hello Skandha,

    I couldn’t respond on my topic anymore: https://catchthemes.com/support-forum/topic/can-i-use-clean-journal-pro-for-inspiration/ So here’s my follow-up question.

    Recently, I’ve launched my new website: https://www.jeroenschalk.nl
    My design uses Clean Journal Pro as an inspiration, as I was using this theme myself since 2017. I gave the theme credits (with hyperlink) on my disclaimer page. Seemed only fair.

    This is what I ment with “using (elements from) the Clean Journal Pro design for my website, without using any of the Clean Journal Pro theme code”, as I typed in my previous topic.

    So I just want to verify one last time from a design perspective. Is my website infringing any Clean Journal Pro copyright? I’m guessing not, but I just want to be sure. I’ve put a lot of work in my new website 🙂

    Kind regards,
    Jeroen

    @jeroenschalkmedia: Hell Joroen,
    Since WordPress is an open source platform you can modify and reuse the theme in any way you want.

    Kind Regards,

    Hello Skandha,

    Yes, that’s why I like WordPress! However, the open source part is related to the code. My question is related to a design (creativity) perspective, since I’m strictly not using the theme anymore.

    But I guess that’s okay too? 🙂

    Kind regards,
    Jeroen
