Hello,
I am new to wordpress but i am web developer but mostly code severside code like php and i am not a very good graphical designer.
So i was looking to use wordpress and a wordpress template for my next project, however i was wondering when you click install themes and search for themes, these are all made by 3rd party providers. However as they are on the wordpress repo does this mean i can still edit them? Do wordpress only accept opensource themes?
For example could i change some of the code and layout and remove the "Made by...." footer?
Thanks very much!

All themes from http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/ repo are GPL'ed so go nuts.
If you redistribute your modified source code remember to give credit to the original theme creator since it will be their code you've modified and you have to give credit where credit is due i.e. don't pass someone else's work as your original.
Give the Child Themes article a good read. You can keep the original themes intact (and patchable) by creating a child theme of the one you like.
