Is there such a thing as free Joomla templates?

Unlike Drupal, I cannot find any Joomla templates on their website. Thus, I am forced to search for third party websites. I thought I was in luck when I found Them.Za, but it turns out that their free templates include links back to their site. The code for at least one link is hidden in a GIF file and modifying it breaks their ToS (clean versions are available for $$$).

Can anyone suggest where I could find clean, free Joomla templates? Or is the only alternative black hat (ie editing the free templates and breaking ToS)?

I have been adamant about avoiding WordPress, but I think I may just save myself the hassle and give in.

Thanks.

I honestly thought this was a troll thread.

Just remove the copyright...

I haven't seen a single Joomla template with copyright encoded as I saw on WordPress.

wordpress ftw!

You could always try d/ling a copy of Artisteer 3 from RS or HF.

It's a great automated web design program which allows you to make custom made templates that you can then export for Joomla, Wordpress, Drupal etc.

It's a doddle to use and well worth a look.
