[theme-reviewers] WordPress Theme Stores Violating GPL

[Rankin, Matthew W. (Student)]

I like the approach taken by ThemeForest. Any PHP code which contains WordPress functionality must be released under the GPL, but the CSS/HTML/Javascript and images used in the theme are copyrighted by the theme author. That being said, I don't think most premium theme stores are in violation of the GPL.

P.S. Note that this is not site-specific issue, we need a general opinion only, try to isolate sites listed in the post.
