You may not like this or you may not even care. But this is what has been said on the topic from Matt Mullenweg on down.

Actually Matt said that some themes may need to be released under GPL, and
some themes are not. They need to be relased as GPL ONLY if they include code
copied and pasted from other GPL code.
However, even if you were right, you say "The only copyright claim a designer has to a
WP theme is for the actual design and graphics." If that were true, you could not use
that "design and graphics" unless you abide by the author's license and leave the links
alone. If you use that "design and graphics" other than as allowed by the author, you
are stealing. If you want a template without links, use one that doesn't have links,
buy one, make one, have one made for you, but don't steal one.
