  The response was that it’s not GPL. It’s possible that the license has changed in 12 years, but following that link:

  I tried to look whether it was indeed added in this intervening time before moving my blog to WP.com but I can’t look without creating the site (chicken-and-egg issue) so if indeed it’s there now, can you let me know? Or teach me how to browse themes without creating a throwaway site?

  Thanks!

  That theme is only available for sites using the open source wordpress.org.
  If you want to use that theme on the wordpress.com platform, you must upgrade to the Business Plan.

  Hi there!

  If you’d like to use a theme on a WordPress.com site that’s not available on our theme gallery at https://wordpress.com/themes – you’ll need to upgrade your site to the WordPress.com Business plan or higher.

  The WordPress.com Business plan allows you to use third-party themes and plugins on a WordPress.com site. So once you’ve upgraded, you’ll be able to upload and install third-party themes available for WordPress sites elsewhere.

  You can check out more about our plans and pricing here: https://wordpress.com/pricing
