<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 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
href="http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/iblog"
target=_blank>http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/iblog</A>) and is this
possible, or do I just release it under a new name?</DIV>
