Themes are not GPL, or is it?

In a recent news from the development team of WordPress, they said ‘Themes are GPL too‘.
I do not agree with all of that post’s content, as I am still thinking WordPress is similar to clay and a theme is similar to a statue you build using the clay.
but, before I write a detailed post on this, I will just point you to this post below.

I still don’t believe that the GPL was conceived with the intention of being used to protect the interests of big corporations and manipulate the little guys, but it is what it is….

All my themes are compatible with WordPress 2.8

Just wanted to let you all know,
All my themes are compatible with WordPress 2.8. There is no line of code that needs to be changed if you want to upgrade to WordPress 2.8.
Enjoy the new version of WordPress, without worrying about anything! It is really pretty cool!

What is coming in WordPress 2.8

I downloaded the beta version of WordPress 2.8 (release version to see the light of the day soon).

It is a more polished version of what you see currently with WordPress 2.7 series.
The thing that I am going to talk about in this post is about the changes that are coming to “theme management”.
There is going to be a new option under “Appearance”, once you login to your WordPress installation. It will be called “Add New Themes”.
addnewthemes
When you click on this link, you will be able to basically browse the official WordPress Theme Viewer and be able to download and install the theme on your site, right within the WordPress dashboard.
installnewthemes
It is a nice feature, but unfortunately I have not uploaded any of my WordPress Themes into this official directory, because my themes are not GPL(General Public License).
My themes are not released under GPL. The user has to keep the footer links intact in order to use my themes for free. More about the License Information for my themes.

I am just wondering what I should do now. Let me know what you think I should do. Thanks.
