Yup, it's a copy http://i.imgur.com/0B3qCRS.png

The whole design is a ripoff of Laravel.

Steal? I thought the whole idea of open-source was to allow people to remix and reuse?

Why is their use of Laravel's code not applauded instead of being derided?

Thanks Mike,

Its MIT license https://github.com/laravel/laravel.com/blob/master/composer.... . However I have had people point it out that designs aren't. Not sure if they are correct.

Anyhow to keep focus on my product rather than this unwanted controversy I've changed it to plain bootstrap for now. Hopefully this should rest the case http://www.outsourceappz.com

p.s: My intention wasn't to rip it off as I believe I was permissible to do within the license.

Regards

I actually believe that you got the licenses mixed up. Not totally unreasonable. The code is definitely open source, but the design of the website is not open source.

Thanks arrondf. I am glad you could see the other side of the coin.
