As I said, at present, my main issue for distribution is the mixing of
several licenses. I do not know under which license the whole may be
distributed. I have done a significant work (in terms of hours) to
shrink 22 and 24 pixels icons to fit in 20, while preserving the
aspect, and sometimes I did some pixel work ("pdf", "ps", "dvi" words,
outline icons, footnote & margin note icons). I have no issue in
putting my contribution under any license that would be compatible
with the original ones.
LyX in general only accepts the GPL version 2 or later (and Creative
commons (needs to be discussed first on the lyx-devel list)).
A little text file explains the history of most icons. I tried to use
Tango icons mainly, they are public domain. The part I took from gimp
can be easily redone (and will be for consistency I think). I also
provide some xcf files for icons that have common parts.
Your work is impressive but perhaps too much. The current LyX icons are
known by the users and thus shouldn't be changed if possible.
I see the problem you mentioned that icons with 24x24 pixels look
blurred and I think we should only fix these icons and make them 20x20
icons.
Your icons are nevertheless very nice and we should have a discussion
about them. I therefore propose to upload them to our Wiki:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Icons
I'd prefer not to have this distributed officially as long as I do not
understand the potential issues with licenses incompatibilities. For
example, I still haven't been able to identify the license of openoffice
Tango icons. They may be CC attribution share-alike.
Also, can icons based on public domain work (Tango) be licensed under
GPL ? I guess so.
I'm forwarding this to the lyx-devel list.
