A lot of people have requested it already, and they refuse to release it. The most recent thread was here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2769
I have been working on a very simplified layout for my member theme that is similar to buddypress.org
I might release it if I finish it. At the very least I will release sort of a skeleton theme for this layout.

if someone make the theme and distribute it, will it be legal. i mean does the theme have any copyrights?
i could pull all the css files in this theme and then work my way back to the original. is it okay to copy the same css.
nice tweaking there. good job on the members page 
That’s not a bad idea. As you can probably tell, all I did for this was change the layout and then work back in the default member theme’s css. I could just copy all of their css and do the same thing.
okay… i made the theme for buddypress and bbpress.
i pulled all the css and worked it around.
some parts i kept different. now can i release it for all..
or can i use it on my site?
If you want it, at least something similar, there’re job groups here and bp demo site. BuddyDress also makes themes for buddypress. FYI.
dude i already made it.
all i want to know is – is it okay to use it and share it for free ?
The beauty of opensource is as long as you give credit where it’s due, you’re free to distribute anything that’s part of the GPL, which WordPress and BuddyPress are.
Unless Andy chimes in and feels otherwise, I don’t see the harm in it.
I want this theme as well, is this a go?
In a similar post Andy said that it was basically just CSS changes if somebody wanted to give it a go. He didn’t offer up the code, but basically said go for it, it somebody wanted to take the time to do it…
Many of my users complain about the confusing nav of the default theme but since I am still trying to get all features of my site to work, I haven’t had a chance to spend time on the theme aspects. I would love to be able to incorporate aspects of the buddypress.org theme on my site. Hoping copypress is able to release the theme
