I don't understand why this dead horse keeps getting beaten and how split-GPL is being pulled in to a conversation about GPL.
The argument is about themes RELEASED UNDER GPL.
The person who created the theme cannot go back after the fact and then do a split-GPL on a theme or content that was previously released under a pure GPL. It would have to be completely fresh/custom code/design for a split-GPL to apply.
You cannot just take XYZ Theme, label it XYZ Theme 2.0 and change it to a split-GPL.
But, the further argument to this is that unless the theme itself can stand on its own outside of the WP system, even still GPL applies rather than split-GPL. This is where it gets cloudy and grey.
Gimme-Website is clearly trolling at this point with her 'but i just want to understand' comments while still taking jabs at fris. If someone making 6 figures doing design work really wanted a more definitive answer they would consult a lawyer rather than us rabble on a webmaster forum.
