I always wondered how these commercial theme creators got away with this. I’ve seen many lately putting spyware in the footer.php and then distributing them as well. Then they get all worked up if you modify it.

@Lloyd,
We could definitely go ’round and ’round about this, but I think we understand each other’s positions pretty well now.

We certainly agree that theme authors should license under the GPL, and that’s probably the point we should all take away from this.

Thanks for hashing all this out. I’ve enjoyed it.
