<DIV>@ Emil, are you saying they shouldn't be able to? I assumed if they
give complete credit and made clear that they're not affiliated with
PageLines it would be ok, as there are many cases where plugins are
improved/fixed and re-released in similar situations. Just curious what
is/isn't okay here :) </DIV><SPAN><FONT color=#888888>

<DIV style="WORD-WRAP: break-word">The iblog theme has not been
updated for 2 years, and the developer (pagelines) now has a 'pro'
version they sell. I've been using the old version and plan on
re'releasing it (under GPL, with credit to original author) with some
improvements on <A href="http://wordpress.org"
target=_blank>wordpress.org</A>.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is it best to do it under original name (<A

this possible, or do I just release it under a new name?</DIV>
