</div><div>@Otto: Apparently ThemeForest enforce their own proprietary license to all themes sold through their site. The author can't choose to offer it as 100% GPL-compatible. And to my understanding, '100%' includes CSS, JavaScript, and images.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm curious what's the official statement on this matter.</div><div><br></div><div>Not because I'm on a crusade against ThemeForest. I'm actually toying with the idea of offering themes with parts that are not GPL-compatible (images mostly) - on the same site/page I've pointed out in the Author URI section of my wordpress.org-hosted themes...</div>

I took the limitations on CSS, images, and design at ThemeForest to really exclude GPL compatibility. I mean, you really can't build a theme without at least CSS and at least one image. And what is design? So that ended any consideration of adding my theme there given the WP.org requirement that any theme in the repository can be distributed on other sites only if they are 100% GPL compatible there.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
