I think it's silly to say that the theme is bad because it tries to
minimize weird browser issues. It doesn't rely on it, it simply is
enhanced by it, and most responsive designs have some sort of browser
singilzation setups... also it's not helpful to just say "reset is
trash" perhaps you can provide constructive feedback on it?

GPL vs BSD is a deep philosophical debate that I don't think OpenNIC
needs to get into. Our focus should be on pragmatism.
