[theme-reviewers] Question about Theme Update Release

[Thiago Senna]

Hi,

for me his changes is perfectly fine. If I decide to create a child theme
of your theme and override the footer.php saying that the theme is mine,
would be strange If any one say that I'm wrong, 'cause the child-theme is
really mine and the parent is yours.

I know that this is not the case, but I think this is not something that
you should worry about. In my opinion the problem is when somebody
redistribute the theme with this kind of changes.


Bye,
Thiago
