Copyright laws still apply. Unless the author (who is by default, according to law, the copyright holder) states otherwise, he/she still holds the copyright. That makes it a violation of copyright law to redistribute the theme yourself without his/her permission.
As small a thing as a theme may seem to some people, it is actually illegal to copy and give away something like this that you received from the author / vendor. It has nothing to do with ongoing support or availability.
