Comment 4 for bug 681596

We are relying on external resources because some things are provided by the community theme that are not exactly GPLv2 compliant. The project that is building the drupal version of this theme (lp:ubuntu-drupal-theme) has every intention of keeping the code we produce compliant with GPLv2 so that it we can keep the final product hosted on drupal.org which is where the final product of our work winds up. The resources that are referred to are not GPLv2 compliant. Things like the Ubuntu logo are included in the light-base theme but we are not able to actually upload that to drupal.org. This is the same with the custom css. In this particular case, we are talking about the CSS. This CSS uses a color scheme that has basically been trademarked by Canonical.

This means that including this CSS is not acceptable if the code hosted needs to be GPLv2 compliant. In bug 688289, we are working on a method to download that file if the site admin wants to use the trademarks colors.

I do agree that this bug is valid because it should not regularly request the outside resource. However, we will not be including this trademarked code with the ubuntu-drupal-theme source. We will also not condone its addition in the light-drupal-theme source. Remember.. It's only because the ubuntu-community-webthemes came into existance that this resource exists at all.
