If they modify the code, they are required to make it freely available 
under GPL.  Of course they may not have modified the code - they might be 
running a vanilla version of Myth.  One thing they have obviously done is 
developed their own theme, which (IMHO) would be considered derived work 
and so also required to be released under GPL.
