I believe that you must publish who are doing it.
Well, technically... Prior to implementing this license there were no legal obligations intact for keeping my credits intact. Just a request. I had hoped that users would respect the amount of work that goes into publishing a theme. (On avaerage it takes about 8 hours of work to publish a theme, and another 2 to do a matching imageset. Not to mention all the work that I put into my cbb template set.)
So identifying those websites that removed my credit would be childish... IDK, its just very offensive to claim someone elses work as your own.
All of my new themes will be safeguarded against it, I am in the process of developing a new theme that will break if credits are removed. essentially it will check to see if the credits are intact and if they are not it breaks (probably be replaced by a get a license page) then call home so that I can keep a record of those sites that do remove my credits.)
So once again development of new themes has been haulted so that I can work on this. I will share this with the other theme devs in the community, when it is finished.

Thanks. Its a pretty basic, but very thorough, license agreement.

Yeah i only released 2-3 themes that had a MUST keep credits but say from a 10 sites found, only 2 had credits intact lol so i didn't bother to do that anymore...i might license future works or sell them at 1$ each
I have a list of about 50 websites that have removed my credits....
I am considering the same. Its a real shame... I wanted to continue contributing my work for free.. but people just have no respect whatsoever.
My hands are tied, I cannot release stuff knowing that 95% of the people that use MY work.. claim it as their own... I dont mind people that add their own credits next to mine, but replacing them is a big no-no.
Oh well, it is what it is. I will update you when I finish the protected theme template.
