I could be completely wrong here, but all the arguments I have seen from WP have to do with themes being derivative works, which is more of an idealogical argument of the GPL than anything else. Does anyone know why Wordpress is so defensive over this though?

I think wordpress has an interest to have it all as free software, Matt's business are not built around selling themes their built around services anti spam, backup, etc

  The themes are not WP software. They are contributions by theme developers and it should be up to them how the license it whatever WP might say. UNLESS they copy GPL'd code into their themes.
