Since it will be based on CM: It's most likely. The current seems to be as following:
Based on CM13 code: Theme Engine will get included like it was in CM13. No differences for now as I can see.
Based on CM14 code: Theme Engine is in development and first signs to get closer to it, are done by today: LineageOS/android_packages_providers_ThemesProvider by Clark Scheff

I don't see them not including it. That's one of the selling points CM and it will be in Lineage

There is no telling what will happen. You have to remember that it used a propritary frameworks that was part of CM. With all rights to the CM name and everything attached to it could bring in many troubles.


If they were wise they would use the code that is all ready present.

If its in cm's open source code. Then the cyanogen company can't do anything about it. There are no 'rights' as open source is open source.

I dont think you have a real firm understanding of the licenses that are involved in android. Only the stock kernel is licensed under the gpl making it completely open source. The rest of android is licensed under the Apache license which is very different and the coded is owned by the person/company that made it. Many people talk about open source when they really dont understand just what it means and what the rights really are. And make no mistake there are rights and rules you have to follow even on something like the kernel source which is "open" Sourced.

i sure hope they include some form of theming capability.some how oms based themes didnt appeal to me,they didnt look as good as the cmte themes.absence of cmte in cm14 kept me frm upgrading and i stayed back in cm13,it offered a good amount of granular control,to mix & match.especially liked the app theming capability,which lets u apply a completely diff theme for the app alone.waiting anxiously as cmte was what got me interested in cm in first place
