Software and a film script are a bit different though. If source becomes available, anyone can compile and use it. I'm not sure it's fair to the developer if he wrote that code with the intention of selling it and now it's av

I was about to link this to a friend, who has been using Wordpress and expressed interest in learning more about how websites work, and then OP got into installing a local Apache server and using LESS to compile CSS, and I'm afraid it
