If you create the theme yourself from scratch, including fonts,
pixel-by-pixel, line-by-line, you can release it under any license.
However doing so would take a lot of time. There is a lot of artwork
available under different free licenses. But you need to keep track of
licenses of files you use and consider following:
1) Redistribuable. This is foremost requirement. Everybody must be able
to redistribute the resulting theme under the applicable license. So you
can't combine elements under contradicting license terms.
2) Free. GRUB isn't linked with themes, so themes aren't covered in any
sense by GPL. In fact GPL for artwork may be impracticable depending on
circumstances. There are other licenses better suited for artwork, like
e.g. CC-by-sa. It has however to be free as per GNU policy.
