# Material Theme (But I won't sue you)
> **Note:** The original Material Theme has been removed from the marketplace due to [distributing malware through their extensions](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43178831#43181919). This fork has been thoroughly audited and is completely safe to use. I have personally audited every line, and removed a TON of unnecessary stuff to be sure. The VS Code team is auditing it as well just to be extra safe.

So, uh, the guy who made the VS Code Material Theme is threatening everyone who uses it in their products. He [seems to have forgotten it was originally licensed under the Apache License, 2.0.](https://github.com/Dramaga11/vsc-material-theme/blob/main/LICENSE). He wiped the commit history to make it look like it was always his weird fake license.

What he has done is fraudulent and shameful. I have created this fork to maintain the original license and keep the project alive.

## Attribution
The code in this project was [previously hosted at this url](https://github.com/material-theme/vsc-material-theme), but the original author has wiped all history of it, making it incredibly hard to credit him and the other original contributors. Full credit has been preserved in the git history here to our best ability.
