Links to a (third-party) website selling themes must adhere to the GPL-compatible rules of WordPress.org ... as in the items on the site must be GPL-compatible.<br><br>Also, as noted, the "free" version of the theme cannot be considered "cripple-ware"<br>
<br>I would also add an option to hide the link/block, but that is not a strict requirement ... just a nice-to-do idea.<br><br>Ultimately the theme will have to be reviewed and the OP ideas/links will be fully considered at that time. There may not be specific guidelines dictating how this should be reviewed (and I do not want to see yet another added for this specific type of link if one does not exist); basically this boils down to common sense approach on case-by-case scenarios.<br>
<br>Writing from a generic point of view, this idea does not strike me as being against the current guidelines.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all">Cais.<br>
