Howdy,<br>
<br>
we just noticed that a theme author has copied our theme almost 1:1 and uploaded it to <a href="http://WordPress.org">WordPress.org</a>:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/19505" target="_blank">https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/19505</a><br>
<br>
That theme is a 1:1 copy of our theme which you can find here:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://wordpress.org/themes/mh-magazine-lite" target="_blank">https://wordpress.org/themes/mh-magazine-lite</a><br>
<br>
Please have a look at the authors theme screenshot and then compare this to our theme demo:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.mhthemes.com/dev_magazine/" target="_blank">http://www.mhthemes.com/dev_magazine/</a><br>
<br>
It seems some people really lack any kind of honor, honesty and in this case even creativity…<br>
<br>
What can we do to resolve this situation? Is the author allowed to upload this copy?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Michael<br>
