compatibility

About those LGPL-licensed themes, I think it's just a matter of adding the 
LGPL license text file under the colorschemes directory. At least the way I 
understand https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#AllCompatibility 
it's probably the "use library" case (to me, LGPL for text-based 
themes whose source is always distributed doesn't make much sense).

So it's probably just those themes that have no explicit license. Now the 
question is what the license covers - is it the color combination (I somehow 
can't imagine that, it's like licensing quick sort) or the actual 
"implementation" of the theme, i.e. the conf file? For instance, the 
Monokai theme was designed by Wimer Hazenberg and the actual Geany conf file 
created by Thanh Tran. Who of them is the author of the theme to be asked about 
the license?
