Heritage

Anaconda is based upon very popular Mollio Web template. K2 is known for its rich, but complex, functionalities. K2 is based on Kubrick which has been modified to create the default WordPress theme. Mollio is known for her (someone has to be a female so why not the good looking one?) stunning good looks.

We have taken both of them, ripped them apart and made them work together, which was a big task by itself. We took all of K2's functionalities and widgetized them and added our own. We fixed lot's of defects and pesky layout issues, enhanced the look and finally we present you with the Anaconda Theme.

License

Anaconda comes with GPL (GNU Public License). Both Mollio & K2 are released under GPL. The only thing we require is that you keep the attributions and linkbacks in the footer without any change.
