[themes] Question about including third-party code libraries

[Brad Chesterfield]

Hello everyone,

I have a quick question regarding Bootstrap and a Drupal theme I am developing and planning to add to drupal.org. The theme uses Bootstrap, and I was wondering what the rules are regarding including the Bootstrap CSS and JS files within the theme itself. Is this acceptable to do? Or do I need to leave it out and instruct users to manually download it and add the files in the necessary folder within the theme like I have seen some other Bootstrap themes on drupal.org do? 

Thank you very much. 

Brad
