Hi,
the icons set distributed by Sun under [1] doesn't respond to the DFSG
criteria (point ii of the -attached- license doesn't allow for
modifications, as pointed out by my sponsor, in cc), hence a few questions
and remarks:
1. From the look&feel of different java apps, the icon set is relatively
widely used, everybody should be aware of this limitation.
2. I know that people from Sun are "lurking" around, they might be
interested in fixing this (that would be the easiest).
3. Perhaps someone has already faced the same issue, and knows of an
alternative *free* drop-in replacement that I/upstream could use.
Thanks, Eric
