@GW - To put it simply, all php code integrated with WordPress (as a plugin, or a theme) is required to also inherit the GPL.
GPL does not automatically apply to any images, css, html, etc... Many premium themes are "split-licensed" in that the GPL applies to the php and they can choose any type of license they want with how they choose to handle the non-php assets.
Unless you also release your non-php assets under GPL, you still retain control over who you choose to license them to. It does not give everyone else the right to give your stuff away.

http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/201...-of-wordpress/My JS/CSS/Images are 100% original. Do they have to be GPL?
No, they don?t. If they aren?t based on GPL?d JavaScript, CSS, or images, you are not forced to make them GPL. What you could do is offer a theme under a split license. The PHP would be under the GPL, but other static resources could be under some other license.- Free Premium Domain Lists and Tools at Clickmojo.com

I'm also not an expert on GPL. But it helps to read an actual case study of a company walking away from GPL, causing an huge scandal in the WP/GPL community, and then compromised by releasing the framework under a split GPL.

Frankly, it's better than the alternative. Which is 8 more pages of burgerflip insisting he's right, and everyone else is wrong.
The way he's fighting on this topic, you'd think he was getting paid in .50ct Android apps.
He is one thick headed, stubborn motherfucker, that's for sure.
