Well I would be just honest, and leave it there, its too make you keep the footer. Else just buy a template, its more professional.
You can buy cheap templates at like

I am buying all kinds of cool stuff from there myself.

Well, I know that.
I am just asking if there is an easier way to decode those stuffs...

Just search Google, there is an online decoder where you insert the encoded text and it decodes it. Can't remember where exactly, had done it long back.

Generally Footer.php files are encoded in the Wordpress themes . you can easily decode them using them using online decoders .

Generally Base 64 coding is used and it can be easily decoded with the help of either the html source or by using online decoders

But donot remove the link backs of theme makers without proper license

I wouldn't use any script thats encoded in any way on the server, especially "free" wordpress ones.

Security nightmare if you don't know whats encoded.

You can use 'free' wordpress templates from 'reliable' sources which will make it more secure to use

Core php files of wordpress related themes are under GPL licence. Which means he has every right to edit every theme .php file.
