RE: Gnome Icon Pixmap Guidelines -- Request for Amendments

["Manuel A. McLure" <mmt unify com>]

That's where the "try to comply with the style of previously created Gnome
icons" and other stylistic clauses come in (IMHO that trumps all clauses
except for the trademark/copyright one). I'm just complaining about the
blanket restrictions on methods of production. IMHO, method of production
shouldn't matter as long as the icon follows the stylistic guidelines and
doesn't infringe any copyrights. Same goes for photo post-processing: if I
take a photo, scan it, and post-process it myself into an icon, as long as
it's in the "Gnome style" it shouldn't matter.

I think the idea is to creat a "look"  If you make a rendered icon that
looks like it was hand drawn, then no problem, but if some icons are shiny
raytracings, and some are Tigert-esq drawings, then things look missmatched.
