Description
We've talked about this before here: https://make.wordpress.org/themes/2015/06/09/gpl-and-licence-agreement/.
What could stop people just uploading would be to add a confirmation checkbox to the process. They would have to click and agree before they upload.

I am reopening this ticket as part of the work to update the review process.
A GPL check or confirmation is needed to be able to add a theme to the theme directory without manual review.

How about the above UI? It's just a quick set of <input type="checkbox" required="required">
. We can add some logic to ensure that they're all checked upon upload too.
The notice shown there is simply the Chrome UI when a required form element isn't checked.

Looks good to me.
I think the first permission check can help those who upload theme copies by mistake. Maybe.

Replying to poena:

That was my hope in the way I worded it, to give a little hint that if that's not your intention.. you're probably in the wrong place.. and that hey, don't upload a premium theme!
The other wording I can think of was something like I am the author of this theme, and wish to upload it to WordPress.org for others to use and share.
, a little more explicit in actions, and less "permission" but rather more "I am author".
