[theme-reviewers] Theme author is asking end user to install less php

[Jose Castaneda]

The thing to remember about the WordPress theme repo is that not everybody
that will use your theme is a developer. More often than not it is a person
with little to no knowledge of web development or programming prowess. What
I would do is include both the LESS files and the compiled CSS and leave a
note on the readme file or put up some sort of notice.
