Please if you can give me a clarification on this guideline, it would be so helpful. I just got confused while reading these guidelines - <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/guidelines/license-theme-name-credit-links-up-sell-themes/" target="_blank">https://make.wordpress.org/<u></u>themes/handbook/guidelines/<u></u>license-theme-name-credit-<u></u>links-up-sell-themes/</a><br>

Copyright notice! You mean credits? If so they can be visible and no<br>
need to include them in options.<br>

I have build a theme with an option to disable Copyright notice<br>
(which appears at the bottom of theme). By default the copyright<br>
notice is visible and via the option it can be disabled or hidden<br>
manually.<br>
<br>
I am just confused - Is this right or not?<br>
