I really thought you'd have grown by now after all these years, but it seems it goes really deep inside you Either way, not exactly the most accurate person to talk about laws and legality
The simple fact of the matter is, anything released to work with Wordpress inherits the GPL license. If I pay for something that is protected by a GPL license, I can modify, give away and even sell it if I want. This isn't about laws or legality. It isn't against the law to remove footer links from a Wordpress theme, no one is breaking any laws. It's about an open license that doesn't restrict people. If I want to remove the footer links, I can. If I want to leave them there, I can do that too. I'm not restricted either way.

There's no debating that. It is what it is.
