Sounds like a bug report in the making to me. > > I assume if ODF "branding" is used, those icons can be used by any > ODF-supporting implementation? It was indeed discussed at the time, run up to the 3.2.1 release (yes a minor bug fix :-/), the new 'ODF' mimetype icons arrived of promoting the set of glyphs for general use by any platform/package/application wanting to use them. At the time, IIRC, there were those that thought this was best handled by folks more specific to the ODF standards process - I suppose that meant OASIS, but can't speak for what others were thinking. For my part, I'd be all in favor of not asserting a copyright (meaning allowing anyone to use) on the mime type icons - separate of course from the application icons. Though, am I wrong in believing that this is actually the situation given the Apache License? Anyway, the idea of a body such as OASIS publishing their own set of glyphs with a provision they only be used in products via certification to a certain level of conformance is interesting.
