The GPL seems weird for a webpage to have in its source code because I don't think of webpages as programs or "software" as the template says. Why is the GPL used for a webpage? I understand it's good for some of the other things that people use Geany to make because those are actual programs. Would the GNU Free Documentation License or a Creative Commons license be more applicable for webpages? I think I might make some more templates with one of these licenses and/or the HTML 5 format.
If a web page contains script, e.g. to write the markup in the browser, the script might be under GPL as well.
In that case the AGPL may be better, since it guarantees the source to be open. With GPL it would be possible to run a server-side program without having the sources public...
Well, that's philosophy at all... :)
