Are you saying that the bold text... and indeed this entire licence text. Is a crock of shit?
Im not trying to inflame.. mearly educate myself.
MOJO Themes are allowed to sell NON derivative works as their own propriety license providing they had not previously released that product as GPL only. I know nothing about MOJO Themes, I have never purchased their products however on the face of it then they *are* allowed to split their license and can protect the parts which are covered by their proprietary license PROVIDING that those portions do not constitute a derivation of Wordpress.

Keep in mind, the onus is on Mojo Themes to asset their license in the face of the GPL in it's application to derivations of Wordpress.
