[geeklog-devel] Template market site, was: Spam post at Geeklog

[Dirk Haun]

This (see below) got caught in the spam filter. Just wanted to check:

- What do people think of this?
- Can anyone think of any potential licensing problems?

I know that, for example, the Wordpress people had some fights over commercial templates vs. the GPL. Our themes are mostly HTML and CSS (i.e. not code, so no GPL there), except for a tiny snippet of PHP code in functions.php.

Personally, I'm not opposed to the idea of commercial themes. Just wanted to check what others think and also that we don't have any potential problems lurking here (like we have with commercial plugins).

bye, Dirk
