GPLv3 was released by FSF on 29 June 2007, so I would say it's safe to assume
that for themes released shortly after (ie. Nov 18 2008), GPL means GPL2. Yes,
this is an assumption. However, even if the license is GPL2 or GPL3, it should
be fine to distribute with any sensible Linux distro, so I fail to see the
importance of nailing this. We're talking about publicly available PekWM themes
here, clearly labelled with "GPL".

Arch Linux usually deal with licensing issues with a healthy dose of pragmatism
and common sense.

If links aren't enough, will email-communication with the authors do? What if
it's someone else pretending to be the authors? Does the communication have to
be encrypted? What if someone gave a false name and a fake upstream site?

Here are links to all the themes, except for default-blue, default-brown,
default-nice and tango (but there's no reason to assume they are not GPL as
well. Themes without links could be excluded at install-time, for example):

http://box-look.org/content/show.php/Pekwm+Leopard?content=93433

http://box-look.org/content/show.php/Pekwm+Nimbus?content=93434
http://box-look.org/content/show.php/Pekwm+gilouche?content=93430
http://box-look.org/content/show.php/Pekwm+dust?content=93429
http://box-look.org/content/show.php/Pekwm+KDE4?content=93431
http://box-look.org/content/show.php/Pekwm+Vista+Black?content=93436

Here's the archived upstream URL:
http://web.archive.org/web/20100111002411/http://adrinux.wordpress.com/pekwm-themes/

Note also that this package is included in at least Debian, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE
and Arch Linux.

It would be a testament to the ability of Fedora to overcome bureaucracy to
finally include this package.
