    Hello friends,
    I am still new to WordPress and with your help I managed to create my own theme.

    At the moment I just want to give away this theme to any one who likes it but in future i might be creating more themes for commercial use.

    Having GPL2 for my free give away theme is fine BUT for my commercial themes its making me confused.

    As I learned so far is the we can use GPL license for commercial themes as well but once its sold it gives full authority to the buyer to resell the theme and have the right to make graphical changes etc.

    Friends kindly guide me what to do for my commercial themes regarding GPL2

    All WordPress themes should be GPL 2.

    Yes but how to protect my work from being edited or resold by others.
    According to GPL 2 the person who purchase your theme will have the right to edit or resell your theme.

    The question is How to prevent that?
