I think as long as the links look natural , there is no harm .But how can one differentiate them from others. This is becoming very common now.Designers make templates with a link to their site at the bottom of the template and then offer those templates to others without any cost. I also use one of those free templates.I wander what effect it will have on my link building strategy since this is only a single link :) So does this mean an end to free themes or what !

I think that this could hamper design work and things like wordpress themes wont advance as quickly in design as they do currently as the designers links could potentially mean nothing. If they are able to differentiate between the two then this could definately work and the quality could actually increase.
