CMIIW , it means that we always be allowed (for free) to use Nivo Slider script with our custom integration (in Site Templates/Wordpress Theme). We will need the Pro version if we want to include the Wordpress plugin version to our commercial theme…

Re: Thematic, etc…
Correct me if I am wrong but you can use any GPL code in your theme simply by including it. No need to recode. Thematic is full GPL , which means you can modify it as you like, though obviously you inherit the same license for your own code.

In my term above, recode doesn’t mean full recode. I mean if he needs Thematic admin panel only, then he needs to modify the thematic files, remove any “unused” code for his needs, then include it in his theme… that’s what i thought before…

Some buyers is Wordpress starter. some of them are very sensitive person. Some of them don’t believe you when you say ‘it is bad’. It is normal. As long as you have tried to give your best answer/explanation, then you are a good author

In this case, how about the use of Thematic in our admin panels, will that pass TF’s approval process? is that also being protected under the “morality clause”?

After reading the license, then you can see the case of every themes.

- Thematic is a parent theme. You can create a child theme for Thematic and sell it here, but you need to educate your buyers to download Thematic first before they can use it (Some TF buyers don’t like this process). If you only need Thematic admin panel, you need to recode it for yourself.

-
Genesis Framework is a parent theme. You can create a child theme for Genesis and sell it here, but you need to educate your buyers to buy Genesis ($60) first before they can use it (Some TF buyers don’t like this process). If you only need Genesis admin panel, you need to recode it for yourself.

- Hybrid Core is a core theme framework (with admin panel and SEO feature). You can include it in your theme. It is completely brandable.
