@Rick Beckman – The issues are not with Automattic and Non-GPL themes. The issues are between The WordPress Project and the license it has and themes like Thesis that operate on a model that is not compliant with the license WordPress has. Therefor, as long as Thesis continues to operate on a restrictive license model, you will never see support for it in the repository or in various other places.

But, no lawyers are going to come knocking on the door demanding that he change the license to be compliant with the GPL. So, he can keep on doing whatever he wants to do because no one is going to stop him.

I used to be very active in the Thesis community and was briefly an assistant developer of the theme itself… Anyone know if the issues between Automattic & non-GPLed themes have been resolved? Last I heard, the official WordPress position would preclude Thesis from existing under the operating model that it has historically had — that DIYthemes owns the code and that users are restricted to using it only under their arbitrary conditions.

Thank you Fred; I need to introduce some change to my blog and the Thesis theme by Chris Pearson (I just learned about) seems as the right option as is optimized and the default layout seems proper for me. I will work on installing it on my blog this weekend.

You guys talked about LeVar Burton, who is running Thesis 1.3.3 LOL!

One of the greatest features about Thesis is how easy it is to upgrade when a new release hits. Without touching your customizations, no matter how involved, you can upgrade before you finish your cup of coffee. Thesis is the ultimate publishing platform only if you use it.

Anyway, it was a good talk, guys, but I could barely tune in after hearing how young you little snots are. Jeez, I mean, I was running Neoclassical and other Pearson themes about a hundred years ago. So, what, was Chris like around sixteen then? He alluded to getting laid as if it was some fond memory of his youth. Oy.

I’m eligible for full government retirement in exactly eight days, but I’m not ready yet. Yes, I’ve been at my job longer than Joost and Chris have been Joost and Chris. Someday, though, I will give up the sinecure, and then I intend to be Chris and Joost myself, blogging my little bureaucratic buns off.

From what Chris said about 2.0, I’m pretty certain I’ll be using Thesis for all my projects.

Thanks for the entertaining audio, and best regards to you youngsters.
