Please do me a favor and read this post in it’s entirety before leaving a comment. I wanted to ask a question to anyone who has purchased the original Revolution Magazine theme – would you have a problem if I updated/restyled the theme and brought it back onto the StudioPress site?

Now bear with me, as I promised before – I would not release the theme as it was originally designed to protect the integrity of the circumstances in which is was purchased. However, what I am proposing is to take the original theme, updated it (again) for WordPress 2.8 and restyle it so that the appearance varies from the original one.

The theme package would be made freely available to anyone who purchased the original theme at no cost. My plan is to have the theme updated for WordPress 2.8, thoroughly optimized by Joost de Valk (as all StudioPress themes will be), updated for auto-thumbnails with the TimThumb script, provide additional page templates, localized for translation for any language and then supported on the StudioPress site.

Before making any decisions, I wanted to get general feedback (both from those who purchased and anyone else with an opinion) on this. I value the WordPress community, which is why I’m asking.

Here’s a screenshot of the orginal theme for your reference:
