Template Modification

If I have a template under GNU/GPL license and I modify it completly (Images, CSS and everything) BUT keep the index.php file from the original template is it legal or not? (PS. I will want to sell the template)

I would contact the author of the template but nothing in the GPL prohibits you from re-selling it.

Just don't sell template as template ...

Take cash for modifications - for Your work..

Just tell Your client, that You have used free template and edited it, and You take cash only for those modifications
That means that You only take cash for Your own work, and the skeleton is still on GNU/GPL

10x you all for the comments. they really helped me.
