He will definitely follow all proper guidelines, especially those related to ThemeURI and AuthorURI. Theme Code will be properly licensed.

If someone commissioned you to develop a Theme, then that person owns the code. If that person chooses to contribute that Theme to the community by submitting it to the Theme directory, there's no inherent problem.
