along those same lines, would it also be ok in your opinions to strip off any backlink to the theme designer and 'created by' copyright statements out of themes?
I am personally undecided on this, although I kind of lean toward a belief that OS software should also mean that related software and plugins should also be free and OS, but I am curious to hear from the people in this thread that have commented on the greatness of the themes how they feel about the issue)

I'll never understand the "everything is for free" mentality either. I used to go to linux users group meetings. Our group had some of the guys responsible for creating Django so it wasn't just a bunch of enthusiasts. One evening the topic of podcasting came up and I patiently listened to everyone's opinions and tips. I finally asked how one goes about monetizing a podcast and these guys looked at me like I had just shit myself. One guy told me that I apparently "just don't get it."
