I would say let's include those themes where we are sure about license compatibility
About those LGPL-licensed themes, I think it's just a matter of adding the LGPL license text file under the colorschemes directory. At least the way I understand https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#AllCompatibility it's probably the "use library" case (to me, LGPL for text-based themes whose source is always distributed doesn't make much sense).
and then try to relicense more and more themes either under MIT or BSD or GPLv2, so they are compatible.
So it's probably just those themes that have no explicit license. Now the question is what the license covers - is it the color combination (I somehow can't imagine that, it's like licensing quick sort) or the actual "implementation" of the theme, i.e. the conf file? For instance, the Monokai theme was designed by Wimer Hazenberg and the actual Geany conf file created by Thanh Tran. Who of them is the author of the theme to be asked about the license?
