Absolutely not. Due to the included file, your port has not set
the LICENSE to "LGPL3" but to "theme". That is a severe problem,
you're not allowed to just put another license on that port. It's
also not "look at the Makefile, the intention is clear": the
LICENSE field ends up in the package, and there's no weaseling
around the problem.
Code bugs may be annoying, but "wrong license" is a mistake with
potential to awaken the lawyers. Fix it.
Regards,
Christoph
