Can someone please do another review on this?<br>
The reasons given by the reviewer are completely unjustified. He denied the theme based on the suggestions given when running the theme check plugin, such as THEMEPATH not being used.<br>
The theme is based on Twenty Ten which uses THEMEPATH. So, if this is not allowed, why is TwentyTen being used in Wordpress as a secondary default?<br>

I don't think this is the same issue. We are talking about selling non-GPL<br>
data (banner images, theme design data files). The theme itself remains<br>
GPL. We're talking about data to use with the theme/plugin.<br>
<br>
The question relates to the policy of WP of not providing non-GPL content<br>
on a site linked to directly from a theme/plugin in the repository.<br>

site to include third party advertisements and indirect links to other<br>
external commercial sites sites. But selling non-GPL content directly from<br>
such a site is not allowed.<br>
<br>
I'm sure that if ads and other external links were not allowed, there would<br>
a lot of plugin/theme support sites in violation of policy.<br>

Hi folks,<br>
I have uploaded the newer version - <a href="http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7947" target="_blank">http://themes.trac.wordpress.<u></u>org/ticket/7947</a><br>
However, I would still like to see the theme reviewed. I know everyone is volunteer reviewers, which I am currently in the process of becoming myself. But seeing themes that were submitted after mine and reviewed/approved etc before mine is a little ridiculous. I am sure you will all agree.<br>
So, can someone please take it and give a yay or nay on it?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Dan<br>

Hi Dan,<br>
<br>
So you want your ticket to be reviewed before other tickets, which were submitted before yours? :)<br>
<br>
Your first ticket will not lose its rank it the queue. When your first ticket gets picked up, the reviewer will review your second ticket automatically.<br>
Plus: Since your first ticket will soon become a Priority #2 ticket, you can expect it to be picked up shortly.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Konstantin<br>
