History
Blueprint was first created by Olav Bjørkøy and released on August 3, 2007.[2] By August 11, Blueprint included work based on ideas from Jeff Croft, Nathan Borror, Christian Metts, and Eric A. Meyer.[3] Version 0.8 was released on November 11, and included various bugfixes as well as a new "tabs" plugin.[4]
Purpose
One of the goals stated by the core team is to facilitate the development of new tools for working with CSS.[5] A variety of CSS generators, visual editors, themes, and frameworks are based on Blueprint, many of which can be found on the Blueprint Wiki.[6]
Blueprint is released under a modified version of the MIT License, making it free software. It can be either used as is, or further adapted for use via a compression tool that is written in Ruby.[citation needed]
