    I have a WP theme with encryption footer, the encryption code is:
    <?php eval(stripslashes(gzinflate(base64_decode("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")))); ?>

    You don't. The encryption is there for a reason.

    If you don't like it you have two choices
    1. Contact the theme creator and offer to buy a version without encryption (I'm guessing it was a free theme)
    2. Find another theme

    Abusing the license terms is theft and theft is never acceptable.

    Or you can opt for option 3. view the footer.php file

    Put this at the begining

    put this at the very end.
    Now go to your site and view the source code. Find those tags and copy everything in between. Paste that in your footer.php file and save.

    Now if there is dynamic code in the footer your will have to rebuild it, cause your we're copying the output.

    But there's your start. If you have a basic footer, your all set. ;)

    As mentioned by sarahk, that would be theft per the licensing of the free theme, which it probably is.

    I also believe you know nothing about how encrypted footers work. If you do what you suggest, I am betting the whole theme will break.

    I am more inclined to suggest not using this theme at all. Encrypted footers have a way of biting you in the ass with other little nasties besides just attribution links. For more information, read "Beware of Free WordPress Themes" article put out by WPMU.org

    Agreed, agreed, agreed!

    @aykaye01 When did this turn into a theme hacking forum?
