 * Hi,
    Hi, I want to buy an wordpress theme.I have a question about the license
   type they use,which is weird from wordpress GPL license.
 * I am buying the theme for mysite – [http://www.maindomain.com](http://www.maindomain.com).
   
   I want to use the same theme on – [http://www.subdomain.maindomain.com](http://www.subdomain.maindomain.com)
   [http://www.maindomain.com/blog](http://www.maindomain.com/blog)
 * So regular license will be a choice for me right.
    From their License knowledge
   base it is said that “A website theme can only be customised to create one customised
   website. If you want to create a second website from the same theme, you should
   purchase another license. “
 * By the definition of a website above URLs are considered as the same website.
 * So if i get their theme in regular license and use it on a wordpress multisite
   I wont be sued right?
 * Refer their license policy here

 * I’m sorry but you will need to contact the theme vendor’s about this. we do not
   have access to – nor do we support – [commercial products](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products)
   here.

 * Thanks for your reply. Just another question. A theme developed for wordpress
   which is an open-source will inherits its license right. So the theme created
   for wordpress will automatically be licensed as GPL?
