MIT is fine, as is BSD. But again, if the theme has many parts, it may result in the PMC spending time researching each of the parts. Just because the theme author claims MIT for his work, he might have used third-party works under other licenses that aren't as compatible with the Apache License.
I guess my question is this: I don't expect that the look-and-feel of our documentation pages needs much if any animation. IOW, I would think the visuals around the content will be pretty much static. If that's the case, why will it be so difficult to just continue improving the template I put in there? If you want to take a theme and WP and mock up something quickly, that's fine as long as all of the creativity can be considered yours or under a friendly license. But maybe instead of another export of a WP theme, we should just try to mimic that in plain HTML. I think I got pretty close to the royale.a.o look in the docpage.html template.
