This would clearly violate the original copyright again. I hope you would agree that stealing some one else's work is a terrible thing to do. I am sure you would not appreciate if some one did it with your property.

Its up to Ken to decide what to do with the icons. For instance if he traced the outlines and refilled the icons with a different colour they would be pretty much a different icon.
