You may not like this or you may not even care. But this is what has been said on the topic from Matt Mullenweg on down.
Themes ON THE WORDPRESS CODEX is GPL. Even then, I dare you to find where does it says that GPL is about design. I posted the GPL link, so don't can reinventing the wheel and that someone said something on a board. THERE'S A WRITTEN LAW. Plus, these themes are OUTSIDE THE WORDPRESS CODEX. Reality is a bitch, isn't it?
