That should teach us a lesson not to delete anything without a good faith effort to prove that it doesn't have valid copyright assignment. Richard didn't just start being pedantic about copyrights; we always checked files' assignments before a major release. So I cannot believe we have any old files in the distribution that we cannot distribute. We may have lost our memory, but the files are kosher. I suggest to undelete those icon files. People worked on them to make Emacs better; let's not discourage them by throwing away their work.
