Actually, I think the credit link guidelines say it
all<http://make.wordpress.org/themes/guidelines/guidelines-license-theme-name-credit-links-up-sell-themes/>
:

Credit Links

   - Theme URI, if used, is *required* to link to a page specifically
   related to the Theme. If a demonstration site or page is being used, the
   content must be related to the theme itself.
   - Author URI, if used, is *required* to link to an author’s personal web
   site or project/development website.
   - Determination of appropriateness of AuthorURI and ThemeURI is at the
   sole, and final, discretion of the Theme Review Team. For AuthorURI,
   emphasis is on the *personal* nature of the site. For ThemeURI, a mere
   demo site is insufficient; the URI must include content
*predominately* related
   to the Theme.
   - If used, Themes are *required* to include no more than one footer
   credit link.
      - *Credit link, if used, is required to use either Theme URI or
      Author URI.*
      - Credit link anchor text and title are *required* to be relevant and
      appropriate with respect to the linked site. *Spam or SEO-seeded
      anchor text and titles may subject Themes to automatic rejection.*
      - A second “Powered by” link for WordPress is also acceptable, with
      the link pointing to http://wordpress.org.
   - If used, credit-link removal options are *required* to be *opt-in* (i.e.
   disabled by default, rather than enabled)
   - Links in the description of the theme must be appropriately defined in
   respect to the AuthorURI requirements or to help and assistance to usage of
   the theme.
