Would you like to add a licence file to the repo to indicate that the content can be freely shared?

Perhaps it would be good to have this info displayed in the theme chooser too. I don't see any mention of this in https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_themes_Template but it would make a good example.

I would love to see this theme on F-Droid, but if no licence is specified that is not possible (even though the source is available).

I will add a license today

Actually, I don't think Apache is a good licence. It's great for software, but this app doesn't have any code. Besides, Lato is under SIL Font Licence which is not compatible with Apache. You can of course say in the Readme, "Assets are available under Apache licence, except Lato font" although it would be better to print the licence in each section of theme manager.

thanks for the proposal that sounds good, I'm not one world champion at this with licenses

So currently, in theme manager each section says:

Great Freedom Cyanogenmod

I don't know how you'd do it and I have not tried any other themes to compare but under the font section I'd have:

Lato (SIL Font License) Great Freedom

I built up this theme for CyanogenMod for the release of oneplus one because it says that Cyanogen is the developer of this theme. Regarding Lato font, this I got a email from Clark Scheff, Cyanogen, Inc. Font is under a commercial license which Cyanogen, Inc. had paid for. We do not have the rights to distribute this outside of Cyanogen, Inc's products so because of this you will need to remove it from your theme. All the other Lato fonts are licensed under the Open Font License so those are fine to keep in Great Freedom. If you look at my commits then you will see I have removed that font Clark was talking about
