Surely any themes that are included in the daily buids have been given to the project and are covered under the GPL.
It's the WPS gallery (and maybe that other site I can never remember (rockboxthemes or something)) that needs clarification isn't it ?
Llorean:
There are really very few themes included with Rockbox though, and none of the ones in his screenshots are those, if my memory serves.

Since discussion about this is still going on here, I thought I would provide an update to those of you who are not in IRC.
I asked him how he was able to do this type of thing to an iPod. He replied with:
--- Quote ---Hi,
In fact it's very easy: You can boot your iPod as USB Mass-Storage Drive (this is a build in functionality). In this mode, it is possible to change the bootloader. The bootloader is selfwritten and just a single binary file in the root directory of the iPod. After that, we can start our own application instead of the iPod software, or, switch back to the original software while booting the player (thx to the selfwritten bootloader).
The application itself is a normal C++ Application compiled with the GCC for ARM processors.
C YA

Things you might find of note/interest in the above: use of the phrases "selfwritten" and "our own application". Also, his misunderstanding of how a custom firmware is run is incorrect. And don't forget the "C++" business. ;)
I have since responded to him notifying him of "the situation" and sent a copy of this situation to eBay as well. I am now waiting for a reply.
Yotto:
I find it appropriate that that was your 187th post :D
More seriously, as I'm not on IRC I'd love to know the results of this.
