Ok Will file bug in debian. However what I checked before asking here was not gnome-themes, but gnome-icon-theme. I hope that is still on topic on this mailing list. I checked the release tarball (and did again just now) and 2.26.0 of gnome-icon-theme [ http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-icon-theme/2.26/ ] ships with a GPLv2 license COPYING file.
