The information I have from Rodney Dawes is that the gnome-icon-theme images are GPLv2 or later (not GPLv2-only), and the GTK+ icons, like all of GTK+, are LGPLv2 or later. When I downloaded the latest GTK+ tarball (ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.10/), I didn't see anything to suggest that it was anything but completely LGPLv2+. When I downloaded the latest gnome-icon-theme tarball (http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gnome-icon-theme/2.21/), the license situation was not clearly stated. I'm asking Rodney to improve that. Hope this helps somehow ... karl
