Tell. I want to try selling templates on ThemeForest, but I don't know what requirements they have for templates (they don't have them on their site).
What should the final topic archive contain, which moderators are likely to check? What to pay attention to?
What should the theme consist of (what pages, what pages to make up, give an example)? Let's say I want to make a theme for a blog.
Is it possible to use FontAwesome, jQuery, Bootstrap, icons from IconFinder, images from freepik, etc. in sales templates?

Seriously?

I have no idea what it is. But the question is tagged [copyright], so:

> jQuery
It's generally known to be free software. That is, as soon as you receive a copy of it at your disposal, you return the rights to use it for any purpose, modify it according to your needs, distribute it unchanged or modified for a fee or without. Just don't ignore the terms of the contract. :-)
> Bootstrap
Which is getbootstrap.com? (They would also call it "Library".) It says indirectly that it's free software.
> FontAwesome
The fact that this font is free is written in large and unambiguous way on their main page.
However, the subtlety - it is distributed under the terms of SIL OFL 1.1. It's a stupid contract that literally shouldn't be a free software license because it forbids you from redistributing the font for a fee on its own. However, it is generally recognized that this requirement is meaningless - after all, you can always add something to the font for formality. Well, one way or another, it should not embarrass you.
> Icons from IconFinder
As far as I can see, works are published there under different conditions. Each case requires separate consideration.
> images from freepik
As far as I understood, the same thing.
