Most likely, they just didn't understand the GPL. I know when I
first got into developing themes, I was using a CC license because I
simply didn't know any better. Other theme devs were using it, so I
just figured it was what I was supposed to use. No one had
explained licensing issues to me. Heck, I don't even remember
hearing about the GPL until I had been using WP for a couple of
years.<br>
<br>
Of course, I wasn't running a business at the time. I was just a
collage student wanting to learn about Web design.<br>

After communicating with them, they said they changed the
terms<br>
because of somebody redistributing their themes, which they
did not<br>
want.<br>
<br>
I have removed them from the commercial themes listing.<br>
