Well, then, there's no problem. Only if your icons are derivative works of the SPSS icons would there be a problem. Looking similar doesn't mean they're derivative works, based on what I know now. I hope you're not feeling threatened or offended. I certainly value your work, including your icons, and wouldn't want to have to replace or modify them. I wanted to find out where the line was drawn for icons and similar works. Now I know. I don't think there's a need to change our icons. -- "Premature optimization is the root of all evil." --D. E.
