Am I violating GPL here?
I think Jakub tried to clear this up. Basically, I was trying to say if your non-GPL application references an icon that is clearly from a GPL theme without providing the icon itself, then this could be considered a violation. I could argue that using any gnome-* icon name indicates a reliance on the GNOME icon theme, which is GPL (almost all themes use this as a fallback). Does this make sense?
