Don't be fooled, stevland, I don't defend open source against closed source (even if talking about scripting language and theming on it, the question is a non sense) nor free against commercial. I gave in both fields and, as you stated, both have pros and cons... No, I'm not choked that you try to sell your creation over a free open source software on its own forum (it's even courageous), I simply expressed the fact that we've been ported in an era where there's no relationship between the cost (in term of time, material, inventivity, human investment) and the final price!Last year, suddenly my main competitor changed his commercial policy, switching his software with an attractive free forever starter plan... At first sight, one could think it was counterproductive and stupid, but their intention was elsewhere : in a short time, everyone becames fan and they increased their users base to be in position for a premedited business deal: the e-commerce platform on which their software is based (just like mine, since we are talking about software communicating with e-commerce platforms) bought them for $15M. They didn't switched to free (not open-source since it's hosted only platform) because they were altruists, but because the users were a better "products" for sale (it's not cynical, it's pure observation of the facts).So, again, I really don't opposite free against commercial nor open vs. closed source, we never know the real intention in background... We just know what we (each) are ready to pay (in money, time, creativity, etc) for a specific thing depending on our personnality, background, knowledge, lifestyle, etc.It's sure you're not at the better place to succeed to sell your theme, but you're maybe at the better place to acquire a big users base...Just my two cents ;)
