To remove it is easy- but you should see if the license allows you to do so.

Anyhow i am not making any code change or redistributing

okay. May be its legal still I dont find it correct to use someone's work in our name. After all it is those who made them that put their names there. Removing them is not fair.

@arjunsuresh agree with you but look like you misunderstood  i dont want to put any name .Just want to delete that content nothing more.

Yes, I also meant that only :)
Earlier there was a question about doing this on some other theme. The theme owner responded by saying legally it is right but morally not. If you want to do so its better to do so with the owner's permission.

Ok lets wait if  Amiya Sahu will reply on this post :)

It is very simple to remove footer from Donut Theme.

Just follow these steps:

1. Go to: qa-theme/Donut-theme/qa-donut-layer.php
2. Press CTRL+F and search private function donut_attribution()
3. Now you will see these codes:

private function donut_attribution()

   {

            $this->output(

                    '<div class="qa-attribution">',

                    '<a href="https://github.com/amiyasahu/Donut">Donut Theme</a> <span class="fa fa-code"></span> with <span class="fa fa-heart"></span> by <a href="http://amiyasahu.github.io">Amiya Sahu</a>',

                    '</div>'

            );

 }

4. Just remove yellow highlighted texts.

5. And save it.

Could you provide universal decision for any theme or it should be individual for each theme?
