It is very nice work, and I am considering packaging it for debian/ubuntu, but I can't submit it without a license.
Is there a better way to contact you? The Send Message link on your opendesktop.org page doesn't work.

I had a bug where, about 1/3rd of the way through loading, the background would turn black; it appears that it cleared the graphical buffer, or something, and wasn't redrawing. This can be fixed by adding the lines
Window.SetBackgroundTopColor(0.234, 0.43, 0.705);
Window.SetBackgroundBottomColor(0.16, 0.25, 0.44);
into the refresh() function. Specifically, after the "sudo cp" in the instructions above, type
$ sudo gedit /usr/share/plymouth/themes/dandelion/dandelion.script
Scroll to line 91 and insert the two lines mentioned above, so that the code looks like
fun refresh (){
rand++;
down_draft = Math.Min(down_draft+1, 150);
Window.SetBackgroundTopColor(0.234, 0.43, 0.705);
Window.SetBackgroundBottomColor(0.16, 0.25, 0.44);
if (status == "normal"){
logo.sprite.SetX (Window.GetWidth() / 2 - logo.image.GetWidth() / 2); # Place in the middle of the screen
....
... save the file and continue as normal.
And as with many plymouth themes, you may find that putting
GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX="keep"
GRUB_VIDEO_BACKEND="all_video"
in your /etc/default/grub, and making a file named /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash containing FRAMEBUFFER=y (or appending if the file already exists), followed by running sudo update-grub.

Great theme!
For install, the first two lines can be replaced by:
curl dl.opendesktop.org/api/files/download/id/1469177233/1469177233-dandelion.tar.gz|tar -xvz
