renkoo adium theme now open source
February 5th, 2007 by Dylan
With the release of Adium Message style – Renkoo, v2.3, the graphical assets of Renkoo are now available open source under the BSD and AFL license.
This is great news. In addition to providing a great invite service, Renkoo is an example of a new type of company that really gets open source (something we aspire to be with SitePen as well). They don’t just base much of their business model on open source software, but they make significant contributions to the Dojo Toolkit and other efforts. Now, they have taken one of the most popular chat styles, developed originally by Torrey Rice for Renkoo, which they already allowed to be used as a theme in IM clients such as Adium, but now it is completely free to use under the BSD and AFL, meaning that anyone can make use of it in their chat theme or web app!
