I have looked into creating new themes for SuiteCRM but it seems it is impossible to create new themes that are going to work with the built in AJAX UI without reusing or linking to the existing JavaScript in the theme headers etc.
This means that any new theme would automatically become AGPLv3 correct? And it would have to be given away for free?
The themes for SuiteCRM are very limited and I can only assume that this is one of the main reasons that not many themes have been created for it. The amount of work involved in creating a theme then having to give it away would put anybody off making one.
It also seems to me that this will be stifling the uptake of SuiteCRM since no matter how you look at it, visual eye candy plays a huge role in peoples decision to use a bit of software.
Is there a way to get round this restriction? Could a new theme be released in a two part install where the part that contains the AGPLv3 code is free to download but the rest is paid for?
I also see that there are themes in the store that are costing $199 a year. How can these be forsale and still comply with AGPLv3?
