The last version I downloaded had Spider-Man, Batman, Fight Club,
and other images. It also had a YouTube music video. I might not
have the latest version though. I'll check as soon as I get a
chance.<br>

<div> I'm inclined to believe
that this falls under fair use based on the few court
rulings I've read about similar issues. I don't care what
we decide though. If we're putting a stop screenshots like
this, then the theme unit test data must be revised to
include images and other media that are licensed under the
GPL. I know many people, myself included, have screenshots
that include theme unit test data.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I was asked to update my screenshots for a
theme because, a part of the screenshot contained an
image(post with featured image) from a movie. Obviously,
the movie is copyrighted to someone else, but I am not
distributing the poster with the theme. Secondly, I am
not violating any copyrights too. Screenshots are just
demonstrations of a site using my theme. What can be a
better screenshot than the screenshot of a real site
actually using the theme?
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Secondly, if the images shown in the screenshots
itself have to be under GPL then there can be many
problems with a large amount of themes. None of the
themes, declare licenses for the images/site used to
create the screenshot. I bet most of them are not GPL.
But, it doesn't matter we are not distributing the
images. It only makes the theme looks good. Moreover,
we are not using paid or pirated images. Also, the
images used to build the screenshot are not even
Default images in the theme, that they would show up
in theme preview.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thirdly, even the components of the Theme Unit test
might cause a conflict with the screenshot being GPL.
For e.g. the <b>Post Format Test: Video</b><span style="font-size:12pt;">(in theme unit test)</span><b style="font-size:12pt;">, </b><span style="font-size:12pt;">if the screenshot contains
that particular post, then the video would appear in
it. The image of the Video/or the Thumbnail of the
video is not under GPL. So, isn't that a problem?</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:12pt;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:12pt;">All I want to say is
that, we are all using fully GPL compatible
resources in our themes. I think, there shouldn't be
such strictness on the themes. Also, I would
completely respect the decision taken by theme
admins on this. But, I atleast request you to
understand the genuinity of the cause I bring to
you.</span></div>
