Icons and GPL

Hi,

We've just received another request from a company
(http://www.waterproof.fr) to user our overlay icons in their app to
indicate the Subversion status.

Since our icons are under the GPL as everything else, this won't be
possible.

I'd like to propose a license change for the icons. At least a change to
the LGPL. That way any other application could use our icons, and
provide a common "Subversion/TSVN" look-and-feel for the users.

I suggest putting a file indicating the rules when/how those icons can
be used in other apps in our icons folder:

======================
The icons in here are not under the GPL but free to use under the
following conditions:
- you use those icons for either a Subversion client application, or an
application with Subversion support (e.g. an IDE). You must not use
these icons for functions/status/... which has nothing to do with
Subversion.
- you must mention somewhere that you got the icons from us, with a link
to our website. This can be in an "About" box, or simply a textfile in
the installation folder of your application.
- if you provide additional icon sets besides those you use from us, you
must give us permission to use your icon sets too. That means your icons
will be included here in this folder, for us and others to use.
======================

Comments?
(Especially from those who actually created the icons) :)
