This project raised a question for me: what is the copyright or licensing situation with Google’s Material Design? The specification itself appears to be copyright Google, but several implementations of the specification on the Web are under permissive licenses:

Google’s Web Starter Kit (https://developers.google.com/web/starter-kit/) uses the Apache License 2.0

Polymer is implementing Material Design for its Paper Elements collection (https://www.polymer-project.org/docs/elements/paper-elements...) under a BSD license.

Angular is implementing it (https://material.angularjs.org/) under the MIT license.

Is Material Design for Google and Android apps only? Can anyone implement it on the Web?

I found that iTerm provides a slightly better experience with Vim: colorschemes were rendered more accurately and redraw performance was improved (most noticeable when scrolling the window line-by-line with CTRL-E and CTRL-Y).

However, MacVim improves again on those two points, so I end up using that.

I like the interleaved comments with the header and body format. I wonder if the authors knew that unidiffs already support comment lines? From the PATCH(1) man page:

"After removing indenting or encapsulation, lines beginning with # are ignored, as they are considered to be comments."
