Debian, for instance, classifies non-4-freedom-free data as non-free (DFSG does not distinguish between software and data, AIUI); some Debian packages contain replacements for non-critical non-free data such as logos. In some cases, shipping free software with non-free data is clearly an issue, e.g., for games where the game engine without the data is essentially worthless. I don't consider themes to be critical for IceCat: IceCat with its default theme is perfectly usable. Thus, I would vote against the inclusion of non-free themes in the IceCat tarball. IMO, we should encourage the production of free themes; rejecting non-free themes is one step in that direction. Thanks, Ludo'. -- http://gnuzilla.gnu.org
