I'm bringing up this issue as the designer of the Kalahari icon theme for
LibreOffice, Mariano Gaudix, would like to upstream his work, as he has been
actively working on it and had previously asked about including it in the
past. The Kalahari icon theme comes in colored and monochrome versions and
it includes work from GPL-licensed Human and Faenza.
how about discussing this on the ESC this week, if you can make it?
Personally, I'm not super-eager to deviate from this project's
established license practice (CC-BY/LGPL/MPL) - curiously, the
gnome-look page you link to even states Kalahari is MPL?
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.
ATB,
Michael.
