As far as I know, it is fine to use GPL licensed icons in a non-GPL project *provided* you don't change them, and you credit the original authors. Please correct me if I'm wrong here. Added to that, we'll probably be moving to using Breeze icons if the KDE switch proves successful. As for the other two, we are *not* using the source code directly, however we copied and were inspired by a lot of code from both sources, which is why we felt we should credit them. Of course I'm not entirely sure here.
