Re: Icons and GPL

A few comments.

I am fairly sure I have posted this in the past, but you are free to do
whatever you want with the Subclipse icon set, in terms of license changes.
Technically, those icons are licensed under the CPL, which is an
Apache-like license.

We use the TortoiseSVN menu icons in Subclipse, I asked for permission.
What I did is add an acknowledgement of TortoiseSVN in various places where
we have stuff like that, and I said that they are licensed under the GPL.
From a technical license standpoint, I have no idea if a CPL-licensed
product can include something and say it is GPL, but I figured that the
only way it would be a problem is if the GPL licensed stuff, TortoiseSVN in
this case, raised a fuss about it. And I had already asked for and
received permission so I was not worried about it.

We also keep the TortoiseSVN icons in their own folder so it is easy to
tell people which icons are GPL.

I have no problem with changing to whatever you decide.

Mark
