If GNOME did have such a policy and it affected the gnome-games images,
I believe it would have to mention that policy in the LICENSE file or
elsewhere inside the gnome-games distribution. (But once again, I am
not a lawyer. :) )

is "GPLv2 or later", which is prefect. I just want to make sure. Maybe
Gnome has some policy for the license of images, I don't know.

Anatoly,
the source code to Gnome Mines is here:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-mines/tree/
In its home directory it has a COPYING file containing the GPL v2:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-mines/tree/COPYING
The 'data' directory, which contains the icons, has no other
licensing
information:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-mines/tree/data
The About box has a License button that displays this text:
Mines is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it
under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the
Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at
your
option) any later version.
I am not a lawyer, but given everything above I personally would not
hesitate to use any of the gnome-mines icons in a GPLv3 project.
