Discussion: How to sell premium Wordpress themes?

3

Last week we talked a little bit about premium Wordpress themes when we discussed the business model at Theme Forest. That got me thinking about the whole premium Wordpres theme market a little bit more.

It is no secret that the creators of Wordpress aren’t really that jazzed about premium themes. After all, these themes are built off of their open source software. In all actuality, no Wordpress designer really has the right sell a premium Wordpress theme. Am I right on this?

My question though is this, what other options does a premium Wordpress designer have to sell premium themes? How can one make money, but still be in line with Wordpress?
