[theme-reviewers] Why the double standards and why Pagelines gets special treatment?

[Trent Lapinski]

I'm curious, but doesn't the store API in the PageLines theme not also violate the phoning home policy?

If analytics for themes is not allowed, how can a proprietary online store selling potentially non-GPL plugins and themes be built directly into a theme not be a violation of this policy?
