I am not the author of all icons. The main work was made by the Gnome 
Design Team (I think Jimmac has made this nice work). I transformed and 
created new ones, and I converted all the work to a gimp theme.

I have absolutely no problem to license and relicense this theme. I 
think there are no problem about that and I made this work not only for 
me, but for all gimp users.

So, if you think a dual license or relicense of the work it will be 
fine, then all is ok for me. ;)

Of course, you must ask Jimmac too.

The problem with CC and GPL appears to be when you include the icons in 
binary files. As both CC and GPL forces to mantain the same license in 
derivative works, is not posible to include the icon in a gimp binary 
and mantain the software on GPL or mantain the icons in CC, cause is the 
same file.

The Gimp icons ARE NOT COMPILED, are ONLY USED, and anybody can EXTRACT 
and MANIPULATE the icons mantaining the CC license restrictions, so, I 
think it is possible include a set of CC icons in Gimp and this not 
violate CC and GPL, cause GPL is for code and CC is for the icon theme.

Is the same case as help files or plugins. They can use other licenses, 
cause you can clearly separate the help files or plugin from main gimp 
application.

I undertand this when reading the Sven mail. I'm wrong or wright?


Thank you!
