[theme-reviewers] Providing commercial non-GPL themes

[Ünsal Korkmaz]

ok..
http://lists.wordpress.org/pipermail/theme-reviewers/2013-May/012868.html is
clear enough. But why is there no explanation in theme review or rules
about this?

I will check all premium components licenses and i hope i can release as
gpl.
