Thanks for the hints. I will work with upstream to get a more explicit wording in the icons license documentation file. If you have any suggestions on the wording, your input would definitely be appreciated. However, from my point of view the license issue itself is fixed by the mentioned upstream changeset, and hence also in the yesterday released ABtransfers 0.0.4.1. Only the wording needs some more polishing to clarify that all icons now are really covered by a DFSG compliant license. So, I am considering to upload that new upstream release and to close this issue as resolved. Francesco, do you object?
