Thats a good questions. I know that even Google Engineers will suggest that if you want to use the icons in the SDK that you make your own copy to bundle with the app. Although based on what you've highlighted here thats not supposed to happen.
However, at the same time all the source is license under the Apache License, which would suggest that you can do that. I'm not expert though, so if it's a concern for you, talk to your own lawyer. - Brill Pappin On Jan 28, 4:06 am, Mariux <mariu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > is there some sort of prohibition to use official Android icons in > paid apps? > > The Android SDK Terms of use reports this: > > "3.3 Except to the extent required by applicable third party licenses, > you may not copy (except for backup purposes), modify, adapt, > redistribute, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or create > derivative works of the SDK or any part of the SDK.
