Re: [gnome-love] License of images

[Adam Dingle <adam medovina org>]

Anatoly,

the source code to Gnome Mines is here:

  https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-mines/tree/

In its home directory it has a COPYING file containing the GPL v2:

  https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-mines/tree/COPYING

The 'data' directory, which contains the icons, has no other licensing information:

  https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-mines/tree/data

The About box has a License button that displays this text:

  Mines is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

I am not a lawyer, but given everything above I personally would not hesitate to use any of the gnome-mines icons in a GPLv3 project.

Hello, I'm writing a free software (GPLv3) "mine sweeper" game for homework in Java, and I'd like to use icons from Gnome Mines (and mimic its user interface). What license do the images and data files of Gnome apps have? I didn't see any special license for the images (tried Googling it, read the help in Yelp, looked at the Gir repo, looked at the "thanks" frame). Do they use GPL too?
