Just who exactly do Envato think they to dictate a seller's licensing options? Only the copyright owner has the right to decide which licese their product uses. By accepting Envato's new licensing conditions, they are essentially accepting that Envato owns their products. I don't care that officially the authors are still the legal owners, just take a look at the facts: Envato dictates prices, sales commissions and licensing terms. They're not an open and free marketplace, they're an obese, rigid, dictatorial, monopolist, counter-competitive and anti trusting corporation that has only one aim: profit and uses only one weapon: market dominance. A huge boycott should be played on them and if there are authors who really care out there they will react to it.<div>

<div dir="ltr">Since we already currently do not accept Themes from developers who sell on ThemeForest, I would only extend the current WPF-WordCamp-Envato discussion so far as to say that if/when Envato allows their developers to choose a 100% GPL-compatible license for their Themes, then I believe that any Theme developers who choose to use such a license would be welcome to submit Themes for inclusion in the <a href="http://wp.org/" target="_blank">wp.org</a> Theme directory.<div>
