[theme-reviewers] Can Options Framework be included with the theme?

[Rohit Tripathi]

Yes, chip. But, I do understand that. But, Even I wasn't 100% sure. It was tried explaining to the author, but he said a new rule is there against it. Hence, I was all skeptical again. 
Sorry for bringing it to the mailing list. Pardon me.

Note: this is probably something that should have been attempted to be resolved in-ticket before bringing to the list.

Yes, indeed. I have been using the Framework version, since always and hence wasn't never asked to change it by any reviewer.
Here is a ticket no. https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16871

I think, catchthemes is a new reviewer and not familiar with it. I will refer him to read this mail.

Options Framework can be confusing, because it comes in two forms: a stand-alone Plugin, and a framework intended to be integrated into a Theme or Plugin. Themes should use the framework version.

Otions framework and many other frameworks are included in many themes for a long time, your reviewer may have misconstrued the plugins should not be bundled rule.

Hello All,
I have been beliveing that options framework is allowed in themes. And it has been included in most of my themes. But, in one of the reviews, the Author Asked me to remove the Options Framework, and make the user install it separately as a plugin.



Technically, my theme doesn't bundle the OF plugin. Its theme options panel is built using it with slight modification.
Is there are rule like this, where I can not include OF in the theme? I know that bundling external plugins, is not allowed. But, I think its different about Options Framework.
