Yes, you are absolutely right about license. Even i was reading that article (Tax_Cloud one right?).
One of the examples shows the responsive features: http://imperavi.com/kube/demo/
...And it works pretty well. I apologize
I think they don't mean to give it away free in the long run. They did it for redactor[1] too. (I think it is the full featured awesome and simple WYSIWYG editor)
It's totally upto the developer to decide upon on the licence. There are lot of projects under FREE, but not open sourced.

I emailed the authors about a week ago and Alex clarified that free to them means it can be redistributed freely. I agree that an actual license would be reassuring though.
I love the aesthetic and the semantics. Nice job!
However, I'm not seeing any responsiveness to the grid; it renders the same when I resize the browser or view in mobile.

The example at http://imperavi.com/kube/demo/ is responsive, I'm not sure why their documentation isn't too.
Nice but Zurb does this and so much more.
Thanks for the mention, wheaties. We're very proud of Foundation (http://foundation.zurb.com), and our team devotes countless hours to ensuring it's the best responsive front-end framework out there.
As others said, why not bootstrap?
Zurb is more flexible and less opinionated.
I've used Bootstrap and switched to Kube for a recent project. It's smaller and feels cleaner. Responsiveness feels tacked on in bootstrap rather than baked-in like Kube. Bootstrap is great for apps, but if you just need a good grid and some defaults for a content site, Kube is great.
Because bootstrap is totally overused, some differentiation would be nice.
I'd argue that Bootstrap the framework isn't overused, however default bootstrap theming is.
There's no argument. You are just correct. Saying Bootstrap is overused is like saying Wordpress is overused which does not matter. The fact is, as you said, the default look and feel of websites using these frameworks is overused, not the technology behind the websites. The backend should be overused.
Exactly. Something as simple as using different typography or changing button style defaults would go a long way.
I understand the idea of using something more minimal for just grid etc, but for me, it hasn't been enough of an issue to not use bootstrap.

I don't see this solving a problem that doesn't already have a (few) solutions. It is early and I will add this to my radar
Agree.
For me, Bootstrap feels like overkill for a simple site. I use skeleton, but will give this a try.
This is great. These frameworks usually have a .css and a .min.css file.
I would love to see one that has a .verbose.css where all possible attributes or properties are listed and commented out in the brackets for that element. As a reference or resource to grab a chunk from for your own .css file.

I would love if there was a project like "bootstriped", where I would get all the classes but with minimal styling, with just a visual hint of what they should look like. I could very easily adapt them to my own needs and designs. Does that sounds like a good idea? I might actually do it (or not).
Nice work - it's always good to see new CSS frameworks coming out
hey, this may be exactly what i was looking for. thanks
It could be this:
http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/
Or maybe this one, too:
http://foundation.zurb.com/

why not bootstrap?
- "Free" is not the kind of license I trust (there's a guy talking about his stealed code on HN this sunday, just check)
- Not responsive ? Come on we're in 2012
- It would be better if it was hosted on github (or bitbucket). So everyone could improve it (but again what's the license ?) There's a lot of competition in this field and at this stage I don't see any valid reason to use this one, rather than say Bootstrap, Foundation or Skeleton.
