Wanted to guage the ethics/legality of buying a theme on Webflow and using the copy/paste feature to get it into Webstudio. Can anyone see a problem with this either from a T’s and C’s perspective or even morally?
No, you are paying the author. The difference between using it on webflow and in webstudio is non-existent. E.g. you could export it as html/css and publish anywhere. Why does it mean anything in eethics/legality?
Webflows theme library is vast and impressive. This’ll be a way to bypass hosting on Webflow and still have awesome design functionality of Webstudio.
I only ask all this because Webflow’s stance on open source is slightly different. Morally I’d come to the same conclusion so note I guess I need to look into licensing of the theme.
