I wonder if the Evergreen Oversight Board or Communications Committee could help us make the decision on the legality of using the images at KDE? I don't have a comfortable feeling about using it based on what I have read on the KDE site. However, if I get a thumbs up from the Evergreen Oversight Board, then I would feel at ease and would use the image. Since the DIG had been using a questionable image for the past few years, I would like to be sure about the image choice. If there is any doubt, then I think we need to use the current safe PDF image currently in place.

This could be an issue since our documentation is CC-BY-SA and not LGPL, but I know there are some similarities between the two. Here is the license listed for set of icons Alexey sent in: http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/kdesupport/oxygen-icons/COPYING?view=markup I am just trying to play it safe, and would welcome the input from others more familiar with these type of licensing issues.
