For debian, as far as I understand, it is also important that there were
no proprietary icons in source code tarball, because this tarball will
became a part of debian distributive. So it would be necessary to
create two make targets: "make distr" and "make licence-clear-distr",
and have two source code tarballs in download area... In that way it
will be possible to include one of them into Debian distributive... :-/

For me it seems to be a little bit twisted solution... But if there is
no other choice...
