Comment(by chipbennett):

 Please apply the fix.

  1. It doesn't negatively impact the Theme
  2. It helps move to a standard practice that will benefit Theme
 developers and end users alike
  3. It will help reduce the number of "but TwentyTen doesn't..." arguments
 in Theme Review comments.
  4. It will help facilitate eventually displaying license information on
 the Extend listing page

 Regarding License URI:
  * If bundling license.txt:
 {{{
 License URI: license.txt
 }}}
  * If pointing to an external URL (e.g.):
 {{{
 License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html
 }}}
  * If pointing to WordPress' license, I suggest:
 {{{
 ../../../license.txt
 }}}

    Since WordPress' license.txt is in {root}, and the Theme files are in
 {root}/wp-content/themes/theme-slug

 (I'm sure someone has a better suggestion, though.)
