@Paul - Hey we got a winner. I published this knowing full well that this would be the type of thing people would immediately latch onto. while I don't like the way non-gpl themes or plugins do business, the fact is that people don't seem to care one way or the other and they are willing to spend their money regardless if something is GPL or not as long as they can determine for themselves if it's a good product, has support and they don't get screwed.

Some of these same businesses are helping to pay the bills by purchasing display advertising. Unfortunately, quite a few of these restriction imposing theme businesses or plugin authors are making the money and are the ones purchasing the ad space.
