GPL commercial themes

[Brad]

Cory, best wishes for success with your new direction.

I've bought numerous GPL and non GPL themes. Initially I was skeptical of the GPL but I have come to appreciate the freedom of it and I'm ready to embrace it. At this point in my WP learning curve I realize how extremely valuable the GPL is to me now and how valuable it must have been to people like you, Brian and others in their early development of themes.

The GPL Kool-Aid is tasting fine.

Dan Cole's Parallel Theme is licensed under GPL version 3.

Until today my theme was actually licensed under GPL version 2, but displayed as being licensed under GPL version 3... My bad!? I'll do some updating to clear up this mix up, but it should be licensed under GPL version 2.

I know there are some GPL v2 vs. v3 debates... I've only looked into it a little, so I can't say what version is better in my opinion. Maybe I should just leave the version number off, so users can pick the one they want (a valid option, btw).

Welcome to the forum adii!

I guess my email the other week was kinda pointless then :p

[adii]

Cheers for the welcome! :)

And which e-mailing you referring to?

[Ryan]

I sent you an email asking if you used hooks in your themes and if so would it be possible for you to send me a copy of one of your themes so that I could see how they worked so that I could implement them into a plugin I'm working on at the moment.

Well it's a reality now http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/commercial/

Yep, just saw that. Awesome!

I hope that the theme developers on this new page do gain some benefit from it to encourage more developers to GPL their code.

Anyone want to place a bet on which one will get their haiku in first?
