There is something that i cannot understand about MIT licence and REBRANDING in umbraco. can anyone try to explain me this question?
[i]If I create a website for a customer, change the umbraco's default layout and add a customer logo as a top banner, am I still respecting the umbraco's MIT Licence?
I have no problem to keep on every page's footer a ubraco logo thats shows i'm using an open source project.[/i]

Basically, to change the admin branding you need a commercial license (AFAIK)
Just wondering, if I have a design I want to create for the UI/backend (Admin area) but I keep the Umbraco branding, is that allowed? I have a layout that I'd like to use which is slightly different from the existing Umbraco admin. If I change the admin, but don't add my own logo and keep the Umbraco branding, is that allowed?
understand MIT and rebranding

thank you guys for your replies.
So i can rebrand the site's masterpage but not the back office.
looks like a good deal :)
