This means two themes (tigris and xfce4) lack a license header. And the ones
that have one all refer to http://adrinux.wordpress.com which no longer exists.

"GPL" is not a valid license for Fedora. We need to know what version it is
(GPLv2 or GPLv3) and whether is it that version only or "any later version"
(GPLv2+ or GPLv3+).

How does Arch deal with this? Do they distribute content with unclear
licensing?

In order to have this package in Fedora, we need to
- know the exact licenses of the themes
- have a valid upstream URL
- have a valid source URL, either for the all-in-one tarball for the individual
themes
- know the name of the author

Last but not we usually don't package dead software. I know things are
different for noarch content that is not going to change, but still I'd feel
much more comfortable if I knew we had an active upstream.
