I note that if you're using this for SaaS (paid subscription site, etc.), you need a premium license, which is 50X more expensive.

I think that's a consideration for a lot of people here. And this is not the case with wrapbootstrap.com.

(edit) I originally said Themeforest had the same restrictions as BootstrapBay, but it appears they have changed their license description significantly and it only affects you if you're distributing it in a sold product. But don't take my word for it:

Sorry, I was wrong about Themeforest (or originally correct) - if the end user of the site pays to access it, an "extended license" is required, also at 50X the cost. As that's often $2500-3000, I'd rather find a good free theme and pay a designer/UI person (perhaps the one who created it) to customize it for me or my client.
According to wrapBootstrap, you also need an extended license for SaaS.

"This license must be purchased if you intend to license, sublicense, redistribute, or resell the final product."

We intentionally made our licenses on par with other marketplaces so there's no confusion for the buyer or the seller.
