[theme-reviewers] explicit license statements for binaries

[Emil Uzelac]

If the media in general is GPL  I don't think that they need to
be separated from the i.e. license.txt. Everything can be combined into one
license, either license.txt or link to browser-based license. If the
licence is GPL-Compatible, small note in readme.txt should be more than
enough.
