I would like to create a blog website using www.drupal.org theme. I was searching through their site if there is any legal bindings to them.

Can anyone help me to find the legal bindings if i use their theme in my site?

Sushantaa,

I don't know about the legal issues, but the theme on druapl.org is not published in order to preserve the drupal brand. There are nearly 300 themes available @ http://www.drupal.org/project/themes . I would suggest looking there instead.

This is just my hunch, but if the Drupal community wanted others using the theme on drupal.org you would find it listed on the themes page.

The drupal.org theme is copyright and may not be used without explicit permission of the author.
This permission will not be granted per the reasons outlined : http://drupal.org/node/27367

So, is it must to put the credit line in the footer of the frontpage?
Few guys are using drupal theme but there is not credit line in the footer.
Can it be called as terms and conditions violation?

You may not use the Drupal.org Blue Beach theme without explicit permission. If you do it is a copyright violation. In other words, you are stealing.

It looks like you need some Drupal support.

This isn't the best place to ask for support, sorry! (This is an issue queue for people working on improving the on-line Drupal documentation. ALSO, please do not go back to old issues that were closed years ago and reuse them for new purposes. Thanks!)

There are several support options listed if you click on "Support" at the top of Drupal.org, which will take you to:
http://drupal.org/support

There you can find out about the Drupal IRC channels, and the Forums, which are our two main support mechanisms in the Drupal community.

Good luck with your issue!
