    Whether they are free depends on the licence they come with. You can download and check the files. The license should be there. If it's not, well...

    Btw, I use only premium (paid) themes from trusted sources or free themes from the official WordPress depository at http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/

    There are way too many cases when free themes are offered with malicious or spammy code inside them. See the following article for more info on this: http://wpmu.org/why-you-should-never-search-for-free-wordpress-themes-in-google-or-anywhere-else/

    Hi, those themes are premium theme and I have gone through their license. Theya re not supposed to be sold or offered free outside the developers website. So the answer to your question is it is not legal to download.

    If you are looking for a premium theme, check Mashlife theme, link in my signature.

    I dont think anybody has been licensed to give away the themes free of cost. You can contact Guanfulai the designer of those themes at his website. Anyways why dont you purchase the themes which are already very cheap or else go for a free theme. He also has a couple of free themes which are legally given away free and those are not bad too.
