It looks like Drupal just picked up a lot of themes developers. Talk about a way to shot yourself in the foot, going after developers and threatening them with lawsuits is a sure fire way to kill momentum.

I mean a theme is just glorified HTML it is not like it provides additional functionality. I think he would have a more valid argument if he was going after plug-in developers but themes is a bit ridiculous, in any event he has showed where his head is at and anyone developing a commercial product on top of Wordpress should take notice.

this is a really interesting issue. If themes have to open source, shouldn't commercial plugins?

(I don't think they should inherit the GPL licence - I believe this would harm wordpress in the long run)
