Question for developers/designers out there.
If I were to take a colour theme like Monokai Pro, and create a theme from scratch using the 7 colour values from the theme, is that considered fair use?
I see tons of extensions that do this, and most themes are released under CC/MIT/etc licenses, so it's generally a moot point, but Monokai isn't, as an example I just came across. There are many adaptations of it.
It's hard to find a clear answer by just searching.
@eliasr Monokai was just an example as the Monokai Pro official plugins are not free and under some custom license. It's also one that has been reproduced thousands of times.
So clearly people just do that. My question really is about the legal side. To the extent that once can be defined as it may depend on where you are.
