Stefan, according to the IP expert I contacted (my wife :)) as long as the creator has given permission and he/she is properly acknowledged, the icon (or whatever) can be distributed without any problem under the GPL license.
Suppose I was to make the icon, should I license it under GPL for it to be used!? PS. Maybe it wasn't clear from my email. Mr. Gallagher, the author of the icon, is the author of the email and the owner of the site where the package was downloaded from (packed with many others and marked as free to be used by anyone everywhere). -- NoDesktopFile: pacman https://launchpad.net/bugs/91736 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
