Hi Florian, all,

CC'ing the design list, because it's mainly their content we talk here (at the

At the moment we work on the LibO mimetype icons and upload the source files to 
the wiki.

If they would be licensed right from the beginning under LGPL, the final icons 
could easily be integrated in the product without asking every contributor for 
licensing their work under LGPL.

This might be true for other graphics too when we start working on the 
"Community Branding".

I could imagine other parts of the package that might be handled in a similar 
way (menu icons, templates, gallery items ...).

I'm not a license expert either, but nobody told me about negative aspects of 
such a double license strategy by now, so I just wanted to post my ideas...

Best regards

Bernhard
