Hello,

I’ve been using Radiant for various projects here and there and have  
been finding it quite nice. I also really like the way the admin  
section is laid out. I had a quick question about the license. Does  
the MIT license also cover the graphic design? I was wondering if I  
could take the design of the admin panel and use it for one of my  
projects (as long as I leave credit where it is due as well as the  
leave the notices). Is this acceptable under the terms of the license?

Thanks,  
Carl L.

I’m fine if you want to use the admin design in your own projects.
