[theme-reviewers] Question Regarding GPL and ThemeForest

[Philip M. Hofer (Frumph)]

Short answer though is yes to the first part no to the second.

GPL means you can snag the code use it and do whatever you want with it, but to sell it? no.

Honorable coding however dictates that you give proper attribution to it.

  Hello Team Members,


  This is a general question nothing relating to theme review but to understand the power of GPL.


  My question is can i purchase the theme from themeforest review the code and use the code in my own theme and resell it with completely new design of the theme?


  I am a newbie in theme development so your suggestion maters to me. 


  Thanks in Advance.
