But can you clarify this for me
Are you saying that they had no additional Licencing becuase by defualt its all GPL.
Or are you saying all the themes didnt place any additional licencing becuase they chose not to? BUt they could have if they wanted?
Its two diff things... just need to clarify.

I don't have any way of knowing what went through the minds of the developers when they released their products so can't speak for what they chose to do or intended.
However what I can say is that these products were released under the GPL license and as such these products provide the usage rights that apply to the GPL.
In a previous post in this thread I explained the circumstances in which products could be released under the GPL for Wordpress derivative code and logic and a separate license for non related code and logic ie: that is proprietary to something that can be stand alone and doesn't derive from Wordpress.
To do this a developer would have to supply you with TWO license files 1. a copy of the GPL for GPL licensed code and 2. their own license for the NON derivative proprietary code and logic or images or anything else not derivative of Wordpress.
I have only seen one or two examples where a developer has supplied two licenses for Wordpress plugins and they contain subsets of programs which are also offered stand alone.
