Looks nice, but there's no license. Can't do a thing with this.

Jesus christ, must everything be transactional?

If you like this kind of thing and might ever possibly make something even remotely or partly similar of your own (because you like this kind of thing remember, meaning, a lot of the same people as the ones who would be interested in reading the blog in the first place, such as yourself and myself), technically you have to be careful that you never even looked at this without a license that declares explicitly what the terms are.

Without any declared license the default is full restrictive rights to the author/artist/creator.

That is how literally true it is to say "can't do anything with this" they can't even view it.

Let alone actually download a copy, let alone build it, let alone modify it, let alone redistribute their modified version...

I don't know what this "transactional" accusation is supposed to even mean, but the need for a license is completely reasonable and not asking for anything.

My own "jesus" question: Jesus do you do any sort of work in either software or hardware without knowing this?
