[theme-reviewers] GPL and limiting usage

[Ünsal Korkmaz]

I think its WPTRT related because all those commercial sellers need to have
1 theme in wordpress.org:

> Have at least one theme in the WordPress.org Themes Directory<http://wordpress.org/themes/> that
> is actively maintained


And i got those replies from my previous question:
http://lists.wordpress.org/pipermail/theme-reviewers/2013-September/015078.html
http://lists.wordpress.org/pipermail/theme-reviewers/2013-May/012868.html

In order to have a Theme hosted in the directory, a developer must release
> *all* Themes under a GPL-compatible license.


Yes they released as GPL as they saying in legal notice, while they saying
"you can only use in 1 site" in front of their site.

and my question was simple tho:
Can we really restrict a GPL theme usage? or are they mis-information on
purpose?
