I would ask the author to better qualify the license with a specific version and also have them note if any later version of the license may or may not be used.<br><br>... and yes, the consensus was a GitHub repository page specifically for the theme is acceptable for a Theme URI.<br>

<span>I'm reviewing a theme that uses a github page as the Theme URI in style.css. This is the page: <a href="https://github.com/pfefferle/SemPress" target="_blank">https://github.com/pfefferle/SemPress</a> . It is the theme's github page but I don't know if this meets the guidelines requirements.</span></div>
