Hi,

I've been reviewing licenses of third-party dependencies, and it looks like
JMeter does not comply with ASF policy.

Legal/resolved page reads that CC-BY-SA 3.0 is "category B"
See https://apache.org/legal/resolved.html#cc-by

resolved.html>Unless otherwise specified, all Category B licensed works
should be included in binary-only form in Apache Software Foundation
convenience binaries (and not source code).

resolved.html>INCLUDING CREATIVE COMMONS ATTRIBUTION CONTENT
resolved.html>Works under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) licenses
(2.5, 3.0, and 4.0)
resolved.html>contain terms related to "Effective Technological Measures",
which may come as a surprise to users.
resolved.html>Thus their inclusion shall be appropriately labelled and only
in binary form

resolved.html>Note that media is intended to mean binary visual/video/audio
elements used in our documentation.
resolved.html>It is not intended to mean inclusion inside our source code.

The content in question is:

echo-icon-theme (echo)
    link: https://fedorahosted.org/echo-icon-theme/
    license: CC-BY-SA 3.0
    License link: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/
    formats: png
    subdirectories: open_icon_library-devel/icons/echo

Are those icons still used?

Should we remove use of those icons from the source release of JMeter?

Vladimir
