@greenline, not reporting those items is not a good thing. If you report those guys, they will get discouraged and no more such items will be included without a legal licence. By not reporting them, what happens is the following:
- You give them more confidence to do the same in future with your other portfolio items.
- Reviewers remain unaware about the issue and they approve the theme (unknowingly), which may later on question their approval process.
- If the theme gets approved and sells well due to your plugin (one of the factor), it is again unfair for other authors who worked hard and came up with original code. The sales of such items will somewhere cut sales of other genuine items.
- Imagine if other authors of popular plugins start keeping silence in same way. For example, if author of VC keep silence and allow inclusion with every released theme without extended license, what will happen to market.
- This will encourage other authors to follow same practice. They may send emails to other authors (under the hood) and ask them to include the plugin at regular license. Thinking, "At least I am getting a single sale as opposed to no sale".
So please do not allow such things to happen. At least after knowing this is happening. W***z is a different matter which can not be solved 100%, but at least you can report these things. I wish you get many sales and success but in right way.
