    This might sound silly, but I am lost here, i submitted my new theme, I want to give away free to the world, and got a email back from the theme editor at wordpress.org saying

    “Licensing terms are not compatible with the GPL”

    iv been racking my brain trying to find how to add the terms, but I cant see any other themes with the GPL on them or a read me file saying here is the GLP….

    This is my theme (the site runs the new theme template) http://webomagazine.com/wordpress-themes/

    Bumping doesn’t really help. It ruins the whole http://wordpress.org/support/view/no-replies that some of us use.

    I’m not familiar with the theme submission process, but have you replied back to that e-mail and asked them? See http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/contact/ for the contact info.

    I did not see any obfuscated code or references to anything such as “You can’t change this or that” so you look good on that front.

    The only thing that was odd to me in your zip file was the searchform1.php file. It included your google.com.au partner code in it.

    Your read me.txt should be README.txt formatted with the tags that it needs. Download any other theme from WordPress.org and you’ll see what I mean.

    Last thing is you may want to explicitly add a statement about the licensing in your README.txt file or in your style.css description section.

    Contact WordPress.org using that e-mail from that link and re-submit the theme. It might just be human error that caused them to reject it, or they found something off kilter that I did not see.
