 We've talked about this before here:
 https://make.wordpress.org/themes/2015/06/09/gpl-and-licence-agreement/.

 What could stop people just uploading would be to add a confirmation
 checkbox to the process. They would have to click and agree before they
 upload.

 Replying to [comment:9 poena]:
 > I think the first permission check can help those who upload theme
 copies by mistake. Maybe.

 That was my hope in the way I worded it, to give a little hint that if
 that's not your intention.. you're probably in the wrong place.. and that
 hey, don't upload a premium theme!

 The other wording I can think of was something like `I am the author of
 this theme, and wish to upload it to WordPress.org for others to use and
 share.`, a little more explicit in actions, and less "permission" but
 rather more "I am author".
