[Question] what is the license for stylesheets/extra.css?

A quick question: what is the license for the stylesheets/extra.css file ? I really like the documentation theme and would like to use it for my open source project: https://docs.codelite.org (a GitHub project, GPLv2 licensed: https://github.com/eranif/codelite)

Good question. I'm the author of the CSS. The images come from our old website which used https://github.com/pages-themes/tactile and is CC0

Feel free to use the CSS under any open source license you want.

Shouldn't the license and the author be mentioned in source code to respect the work?

thank you!

depends on the license

So, we are now driven by the laws and licesenses instead of a simple appreciation of someone's hard work 😟
