Any idea why was the Dracula theme removed from Mint? (fedia.io)

Searching it seems (still inconclusively) like the awesome Dracula theme used to be in Mint at some point in the past, but now it's conspicuously absent from both the official themes repository AND the Dracula theme site. Did something happen at some point to cause this disconnection? Or have i gotten it wrong and it just hasn't been on Mint in any "official" capacity (or even extraofficial) at no point?

I don't know about mint specifically but I saw a while ago that the Dracula theme was owned by jetbrains so open source derivatives tended to play on the name like "darcula". Could be a licensing thing.

    Gave a look all over the site and i see no sign of it being owned by anybody other than the original creator and a maintainer, no signs of a corporation involved, and the Wikipedia entry (i get a kick of a theme having a Wiki entry) doesn't list any such ownership so maybe it's still independent.

    So far all points at just no one making a Dracula Mint theme, don't think i would be the one doing it though (and a quick search didn't get me a guide on making one either)
