Thank God for bootstrap and bootstrap kits. I've got no skills in design and all, but still can make acceptable UIs for my servers by hammering bootstrap all over the place.

isnt this what permissive licenses are for?
Yes. Ionicons is released under the MIT license, which (AFAICT though IANAL) does not contain any attribution condition.
You have to include the original copyright notice. However, because of the Github templates, a lot of people don't fill in the copyright details. So in those cases derivatives are free to not attribute.

#43Another flat CSS theme for bootstrap? How many minutes did that take you? The layout on the site does look nice though. http://flathemes.com/ is your main website, it has a link to download version 1.0.1 (even though github says version 2.0.0 is the latest), then when I click download it says that I have to Like with Facebook or Twitter to download my "free gift" of your BootFlat theme, that rubs me the wrong way.
Stop the hating, please. It has a hugely negative effect on HN in general and on creators specifically. Don't use it if you don't like it. Whenever I come across people who really hate me and my work it takes every ounce of energy to try and ignore them and move on. So hard. --John Resig, creator of jQuery ( https://twitter.com/jeresig/status/425483930918060032 )
This is such a silly comment.
If people can't show their opinions of things, whats the point of even having HN. I didn't realise that everyone had to love everything posted on this site.

#44This is not nearly as good as Designmodo's Flat UI. Seems that people are just going to keep making Flat design kits because they are easy.

I think it's a question of the tone with which he "didn't love."
There's a difference between:
"Another flat CSS theme for bootstrap? How many minutes did that take you?"
and
"There have been a number of flat CSS themes presented on this site, so I find it hard for any one of them to really distinguish themselves. Have you considered [the idea that OP thinks is better or more original or more useful]?
---
The reason it's less than ideal to weigh in with such disdain is that it discourages other people for whom creating something like that would be a MASSIVE undertaking.
Imagine a beginning designer who doesn't know anything about CSS or graphic design, so, for their initial project, they want to create a flat CSS theme. It's ambitious for them, and they're anxious to start and they log into HN and...oh. Wow. That person just made something better than I could ever make and got BLASTED.
What's the point of trying?
Comment #2 encourages them and points them towards a better suggestion. Comment #1 adds nothing.

Yeah! How dare an author of something free asks you to do another free action to acknowledge his work that you're about to benefit from!

There's a huge difference between sharing opinions and hating. "Another flat theme for bootstrap? How long did that take you?" is hating. "I don't like this, it's not good" or any variation there of is an opinion, ideally containing some reasoning.
