Following the light-themes
scheme, you need to include a file called copyright (or LICENSE) in /usr/share/doc/your-theme-name
that includes the complete /usr/share/doc/light-themes/copyright
file), which starts as:

At the beginning, include a line like Derived from the Ubuntu light-themes package
.
After the "Upstream Author", as a courtesy I would also add Maintainers:
and include the Ubuntu Light Themes Contributors, preferably with the link to their page.
If you are simply distributing this as a zip file or a patch or something, just including all the above as a LICENSE
file in the root or inline as a comment (in that case no need for the full license text, just link http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ ).
