Chip,

- License information for the above scrips has not given in the theme -
however, Only the relevant URLs have been mentioned in the readme file.

*I need also help about,*

- Them is released under MIT License - *Is it acceptable?* According to my
knowledge, Themes are required to be 100% GPL-licensed, or use a
GPL-compatible license
- LicenseURI is given -  http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT

Thanks
