[theme-reviewers] Theme License

[Stanko Metodiev]

Hi,

According to Wikipedia, and Kovshenin's blog post,  MIT license is GPL
compatible: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_License
and http://kovshenin.com/2012/the-mit-license-is-compatible-with-the-gpl/.
So my guess is yes, but it would be good if somebody could confirm this.

Regards
