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.
