Hi Mirek,

        I wouldn't despair of that, I'll be at GUADEC to meet with them next
week :-) For now we're using the gnome-icon-theme CC-by-SA rubric that
they asked for in our license file for 3.6.0 RC3.

perhaps we could think about licensing all LibreOffice artwork under
the more art-appropriate cc-by license from now on. This would not
only decrease confusion around licensing in LibreOffice, but would
also make it easier for differently-licensed projects to incorporate
our Tango icons and for us to exchange Tango icons with Gnome.
Would that be a possibility? What is your take on this?

        Well - I'd need to get some advice on that. My concern is an endless
proliferation of individual artists' credits for each icon - it is
really unclear to me how that is supposed to work. In general I'd be
much happier with an adjusted credits.html page that captures artistic
input - indeed - I've poked Spaetz about that - but no feedback yet.

        There are great benefits to uniform licensing IMHO.

        ATB,

                Michael.
