It wasn't me who identified the license for the gnome icons initially.
Indeed, I can't find a clear statement about the copyright and license
for the gnome icons anywhere.
Emacs contains some icons taken from "gnome-icon-theme". Some specific
examples (as described in our etc/images/README file):
Emacs icon gnome-icon-theme source
etc/images/attach document/stock_attach
etc/images/delete generic/stock_delete
etc/images/lock data/stock_lock
The gnome-icon-theme source can be downloaded from
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-icon-theme/
The tarballs contain a copy of GPLv2, but I cannot see an actual
copyright statement or a note about which version(s) of the license
apply anywhere in the source. Nor can I find this information in the
gnome VC repository. So basically, I have no idea what the copyright
for gnome icons is.
On a Debian system, /usr/share/doc/gnome-icon-theme/copyright says
that the license is "version 2" (no "or later"). This is the only
information I can find as to what the actual gnome icons license is.
