The icons are LGPL'd. I've personally contacted the KDE-Artists group with currently distributes and licenses the artwork. They gave a thumbs up and confirmed by understanding of how LGPL'd artwork would interacted with an ASL'd site. Short version is that the icons are still LGPL'd, we need to offer SVG source and credits, changes to SVG would be under LGPL, can including in site with no 'viral' effects. Sent an email and a reminder to the licensing@ email list. No response. Since it's not part of our actual software offerings, we (the PMC) decided the use of LGPL icons under the terms stated above were acceptable. I haven't heard any official word from other ASF members claiming otherwise. I do need to update our NOTICE files for the website documentation and right now the credits and SVG sources are sorta hidden, which I plan on reconciling real soon now. J.
