<div>Mike, yes, template files (*.php) are all licensed under GPL. Modification term is covering the 'whole theme', which make up a theme. Does that make sense?</div><div><br></div><div>As for the template files, we plan to release it to public through free themes that is already in our roadmap. Releasing the files without a theme is not useful to user. Besides, we've to clean up work to do, i.e. separating non GPL from the GPL, so that we don't infringe on other material licenses instead. =)</div>

You should also consider getting different legal advice, because you can't restrict the modification and licensing of the actual template files themselves. (i.e. any file in your theme that has PHP). All the actual template files MUST be licensed under the GPL and you may not place additional restrictions that infringe upon the rights granted in the GPL.<br>
<br>
You are free to license CSS files and images as you see fit. Since they are not part of the Drupal code base.<br>
<br>
I would not recommend that anyone buy themes from a vendor that does not understand GPL licensing.<br>
