[theme-reviewers] Is SMOF framework allowed?

[wordpress at thinkupthemes.com]

Totally agree! The theme should still look like a theme when  
activated. I'd suggest that you have clear documentation so users know  
they can change options from the theme options page. Make it super  
clear.

So would I be right in assuming that SMOF is allowed then? I'll submit  
my theme next week and can completely strip it out if SMOF is not  
allowed, but didn't want to as I thought it would be cool to give a  
premium level theme for free.
