<div>While I don't do any theme reviews, but does the GPL allows that sort of thing? Also what the link to the other theme that you saw that look the same?<br></div><br><br><br>

<div>I think that an additional section in the Theme Review guidelines is missing and this is the 'I have downloaded a theme/framework, changed the style.css and images and resubmitted' section. </div>
<div><br>I am inspecting ticket 4866 - <a href="http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4866" target="_blank">http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4866</a> - where the theme is based on another existing theme (looking pretty much the same) and also built on a starter theme. The theme has no specific functionality - the overall functions.php file is like 15 lines of code. Also, text domain if toolbox everywhere which is undoubtedly incorrect for a unique theme submission but even more wrong where most of the code is copy-pasted. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>What is acceptable when submitting a theme which is almost entirely based on another theme and has no uniqueness? This is not a child theme here (even though a guide what is allowed for child themes is also a good idea) but an existing theme with few tens of lines of code modified and submitted back to the repo.</div>
