I know Im flogging a dead horse here and i confess I dont fully understand the GPL WP issue before i posted. And im not sure i do now. This is from WP site itself

Quote:
In conclusion, the WordPress themes supplied contain elements that are derivative of WordPress?s copyrighted code. These themes, being collections of distinct works (images, CSS files, PHP files), need not be GPL-licensed as a whole. Rather, the PHP files are subject to the requirements of the GPL while the images and CSS are not. Third-party developers of such themes may apply restrictive copyrights to these elements if they wish.
SO the core php of a theme.. GPL
But any graphics or css... That can have a restrictive licence put on it.?
