[theme-reviewers] Providing commercial non-GPL themes

[devcorn]

yes it can be added  on theme review page, there is one available on theme
about page publicly

http://wordpress.org/themes/about

The goal of our themes directory isn't to have every theme in the world,
it's to have the best. WordPress is Open Source, and all the themes we host
here are Open Source. If you want your theme to be proprietary or promote
things that violate WordPress' license on your site, the directory probably
isn't the best home for your work.
Guidelines

Resources for theme authors are available in the Codex on the Theme
Development <http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development>, Theme
Review<http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Review>,
and Theme Unit Test <http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Unit_Test> pages.

All themes are subject to review. Themes from sites that support non-GPL
(or compatible) themes or violate the WordPress community guidelines themes
will not be approved.
