Don't know how to feel about this.
I know they're not ADDING links to their theme - but they're "exploiting" a filter - and when you think about the ethics, it's wrong.

Personally I think it's spot on to give them 5 weeks suspension - I don't like that they "backed out" tho. Also I'm really happy this was brought to attention - now grab some popcorns, and watch the changelogs of the themes being updated.
