I wonder if icons in an obsolete gnome branch can be relicensed. It's GPL2 currently. It has a standard GPL2 copying file in the tree and no more: https://launchpad.net/gnome-icon-theme/+milestone/2.20.0 Does a standard GPL2 file implies later GPL versions too? If not then they probably woudn't mind adding a README file saying "GPL2 an= d later" the question is if they want to bother with this.
