Anyone may, and is encouraged to, use Oxygen Icons in their applications, websites and physical artwork. *Modification is also allowed*. The only restriction is that you can not restrict what others then do with the artwork. The copying licence is the GNU LGPL 3, see Policies/Licensing_Policy <https://techbase.kde.org/Policies/Licensing_Policy> and LGPL licence text <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html> for the full legal details.
