hi,
I'm curious about it's license - didn't find nothing. Could it be
copied, modified, used in commercial projects?
And thanks, it's great template for FOAF!

Which parts exactly would you like to copy, modify or use in
commercial projects?

Anyway, FOAF.Vix is an online web application (web service) which
can be used freely (standalone or embedded mode) without any
restrictions. I should write and put some ToS about this soon...

All the code parts that you can download (like templates for
example) are available under GPLv3. The rest of the code (like
the backend engine) has not been released yet, but it will
someday (also under GPL).

Regards,
Wojciech

as far I saw only XSLT-template, I thought it's the FOAF.Vix itself.

I'm working on project that stores data in RDF with FOAF-shema for
user profiles. Right now we are rendering profiles to HTML using basic
template system, and it works well for us. I've just got some ideas
that XSLT-rendering could be useful for public FOAF export, but I'm
not sure that it would be possible to use FOAF.Vix without
modifications.

We are developing on Python with Redland as storage. Hope, I will
release some our Python&RDF snippets too.

It is part of FOAF.Vix and it's GPLv3.

If you generate FOAF by yourself, then a simple specific template
which suits only your needs will be much better than a general
one written to deal with many FOAF namespaces, tweaks and styles
(like the one used by FOAF.Vix).
