The GPL seems a particularly silly license for artwork =) but it is
quite common; we already ship and include Human under this in the
source.
The ideal here of course would be to find someone with the tenacity to
chase-down the original authors and get some more sensible rights such
as CC0 or somesuch to at least one base-set of icons.
