Not an official response: As long as the template is 100% created by him/form him and does not depend in any way on any other code from any other of the templates, I'd say there is no problem.
But what does user want to "copyright" anwya? CSS code? Colors? Good luck.
Let's see what others say. I am not an expert on OS licenses.

Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).

My opinion :
HTML must still in GPLv3 (except if tottally rewritten)
Theme can have a different copyright.
Assistance on LimeSurvey forum and LimeSurvey core development are on my free time.

Is this legit?
How can anyone be able to answer that question, without knowing the residence of your user and yourself. The question is what law is applied in your area.
Second question is "theme" vs "template". After renaming the html/css/js collection from template into themes (since LS3), a template can be a questionnaire and the theme the optical stuff.

You are right, of course, but one cannot always know where his/her users come from.
Of course we could ask each of them but we'd like to define a common policy.
As for "template" sorry, my fault, I meant "Theme".
