Hello gents, I just recently stumbled upon the following when trying to install a theme in Shopify. Apparently they use some algorithmic process to recognize if the uploaded theme matches anything in the store and blocks it. Does anyone know a way around that? 
See the following error message from Shopify:
Customization and publishing are locked

Using a theme without a license is not permitted and can put you at risk of legal action by the theme developer. If you have purchased this theme and believe you have a license, provide some information to let us know.
