Web Design Templates
Some require the link back to them NOT to be removed unless you pay a fee. Even those which do not require a link back should be credited on the team's GVC Credits and Acknowledgements page. You will notice that many templates come with words on them in Latin. Those are not "directions" that you have to translate, but just meaningless words to fill the space and show you what it would look like.

Each design is submitted by an individual designer who may or may not require a link back. Open source Web Design requests but does not require a link back to their site.
