Many thanks Greg for the legalise. Providing the Linux Foundation has no objections, I would like to use that. My next question is that of artwork. Looking at the link provided I don't see anything about artwork usage. From what I can tell, there is the icon-theme package which refers to the Compliance section for usage, is it the only package containing restricted artwork? So does that mean I can't use icon-theme, and have to use one of the other themes provided by openSUSE (Tango for instance)? What can I use, and what can I explicitly not use? If it helps anyone wishing to answer these questions I am more than happy for you to see for yourselves by trying out the Alpha of Smeegol ;-) Regards, Andy -- Andrew Wafaa IRC: FunkyPenguin.
