When blogsome.com started providing free WP powered blogs, I created one for myself.
I also asked them, if they could pre-install some of my themes with their system.
They did not respond back to that, but after a while I started to get support questions for my GreenTrack and ShadedGrey themes from blogsome users. Only then I found out that they have started providing those themes to their users.
yesterday I noticed that, when the blogsome users, applies the theme to their website, it does not link back to our WPThemes.Info.
I contacted Blogsome and asked them if they could provide the link back to me, but they replied with a ‘NO’ for that. Their policy does not allow that.
I thought about it for a while and said it is OK to do that, because linking back to WPThemes.Info has always been optional in any of our themes.
but really when I think about it now, Blogsome is not a charity organisation, and are making money by running that site.
I dont know whether I should pressurize them again, or just leave it as it is right now. (After all, the idea behind creating and sharing the themes is for the people to use it. isnt it ?)
what do you think ? Let me know.

Thanks for the comments guys/ gals.
I got an update from the Blogsome people, that those ‘google ads’ in their website are removable by the user if they want .
I think I will close this topic here(comments are closed now) and make sure the future themes we will release it as ‘free for a non-commercial use’ kind of copyright.
Thanks again.
