Is website flipping a breach of licence?
The standard Envato/Themeforest licence says that you are not allowed to sell the template on to other people and I'm pretty sure this is the case even if you make your own edits to the template because it would still contain the original authors code. Obviously, a lot of people probably still do this regardless of the licence terms... in fact, on flipper I've actually seen a themeforest wordpress theme with a automated SMS marketing plugin installed on it that was also being sold by an author on Envato. All the seller done was buy the template and plugin, install the plugin, add a bit of text to the website and then sell it as a ready made business with huge potential. I didn't like seeing that at all because it was technically ripping people off as he was charging so much more for it when it probably only took half an hour to build and he was clearly trying to capitalise on the quality of the plugin which was being sold on Envato.
So, does anyone here know the score in regards to site flipping and template licences?
