    All of Catch Themes’ “Pro” themes are apparently licensed under the GNU General Public Licence v3, however their download pages don’t contain any link to the source code. If the source code is only available after payment, this is in breach of the licence.

    Hi @tjbp,

    The theme file itself is the source code. In PHP, the server compiles the codes on the fly so, there is no code conversion. Let me know what you want and I can point you that where that piece of code lies.

    Hi Pratik, I’m aware PHP is an interpreted language – the problem is that the file itself isn’t accessible. Where is the download link on this page?: http://catchthemes.com/themes/clean-box-pro/

    Hi @tjbp,

    Once you buy the theme, the theme will be available in your my-accounts page.

    @tjbp: Only authorized members will be able to download it from their account at http://catchthemes.com/my-account . You can only download free theme directly. To download Pro/Premium themes, you need to purchase it from http://catchthemes.com/themes/category/premium/

    It’s same for all the theme companies, you can check out WooThemes, Elegant Themes, thethemefoundry, ThemeForest and even WordPress.com premium themes. All uses similar business model which is call “Freemium”. We all release under GPL license.
