<div dir="ltr">To be honest, I am not familiar with the working of ThemeForest so I really do not have any "hard" example(s) ... it's more of a gut check.<br><br>There really is not a lot of difference, per se, with how "advertising" would/could/should be addressed except that for the most part I would expect Theme authors to have a natural inclination to "upsell" all of their ThemeForest hosted themes in general. I am just suggesting the "advertising" be limited to the theme relevant to the one submitted for inclusion in the WordPress repository. This essentially makes it no different than how current "upsell" type themes are being handled in Extend.<br>

I think it'd be acceptable. Would we need to get a definitive OK

<div>Question is, does this change our policy towards ThemeForest?
Will authors now be able to sell and promote themes that are
100% GPL and sold on TF?</div>
