Thanks for summing it up Andy. With all the wannabe lawyers, future warez leeches and just plain dumbasses commenting in all the threads it was tough to understand exactly what was happening. Now we know.
We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.

Posted 17 years 10 months ago- Might want to consider taking Andy's post and reposting it and making it a sticky to state RT's position. (Before some outhouse-lawyer-webmaster decides to open freerocketthemetemplates.com)

So why is it, it seems, that template designers are given special treatment in terms of the license they can use? Do template designers work harder and longer hours on their templates than developers do on extensions? Are designers a very special breed of people in society that have special privileges because of some "creative license" invented at the dawn of time?
Sure, to me they are special people with amazing skills but I would have thought that in the "GPL" and "Open Source Matters" framework that Joomla! operates under (phrases that I continue hearing from Core Team members), designers would not be treated differently from anyone else if they wanted to contribute to an open source project and be part of an open source community.
