FezVrasta - Nice work!

I'm curious about your choice of license[0]. I've been considering the use of a non-commercial license for a project I'm working on. Would you mind discussing:

1. Your motivation for the choice. Is it to prevent people from reselling the theme?

2. The impact, if any, that the choice has had on adoption. With the popularity of the project, it doesn’t seem to be an issue. In your experience are users not using your project to built commercial application? Or are they violation the terms (un)intentionally?

3. Your longterm objectives for the project. Do you plan on making this into a business by selling commercial licenses? Do you plan on having a standard commercial license fee, or do you believe it works better to negotiate each license independently?

Thanks!

Edit: grammar, added license

Yeah, I really love this project, but I have to say I generally avoid using non-free libraries when developing[0]. (To give one specific use case: if I would like to create a FOSS website, this means that I cannot use this library and provide the whole result under a single free license.)

That aside, this looks really well-done! I already have a lot of sites built around Bootstrap, so I may give this a test drive later today.

[0] Free-as-in-freedom, which includes the freedom to use software for any purpose (so a non-commercial use requirement makes the software non-free).

Hello.

1. I've used this license because I wanted to give something for free for people that was looking for this kind of theme. The restriction about commercial projects is because I don't want people to resell my theme and because I think that if someone is going to earn something using my work I should get something in exchange.

2. This license seems not a problem, users use it anyway following the terms.

3. Usually I negotiate individually.
