[theme-reviewers] Licensing question - Author sells on Mojo Themes

[Chip Bennett]

HTML templates are not in any way, under any interpretation, derivative of
WordPress. As such, they are not compelled to be licensed as GPL-compatible.

As for the Mojo terms, I disagree. The current terms, as-stated, are not
GPL-compatible (and I've taken it up directly with Mojo).

Here's the Theme in question:
https://www.mojomarketplace.com/item/bluebird-beautiful-wordpress-theme-for-personal-blog

Here are the license options:


   - Single-Domain License (You can *use *this on personal, commercial or
   client projects.)
   - 5-Domain License (You can *use *this on up to 5 domains and for up to
   5 clients.)
   - Developer License (You can *use *this on an unlimited number of
   domains and for an unlimited number of clients.)

(Those are quite clearly *usage *restrictions, not support limits.)

I've asked Mojo to clarify the license wording for WordPress Themes. A user
would reasonably infer that the license restrictions are usage
restrictions, and not support limits.
