First off, sound move on Envato’s end.

Secondly, a thanks to iPad, whom I’m assuming is slightly dyslexic, left-handed, or at the least a different-drum-beat marcher.

I’m now going to use your mirrored smily, as I too am a left-handed somewhat dyslexic marcher to at times a different beat of the durm, err, I mean, drum.

So what about those people who spend lots of time crafting their custom php functionality built to interact and integrate with wordpress functions and with the database?

Would buyers be free to literally ripoff the hardly coded framework and do what they want with it?

I can understand how they can choose to make their own php code gpl, but this situation is a disaster for coders relying on their well built framework to be able to craft and sell themes based on it.

It really is is impossible to write php code for wordpress without interacting with wordpress’ functions. More than that, it would probably be wrong in 95% of the occasions.

What do you guys think about this? Is the era of the premium themes reaching its end?

Will your Joomla Templates fall into the same catagory as the Wordpress GPL licensing, since it is open-source also? Might want to check on that and Drupal, Magento, and some of the others.
