Those are distributed under the LGPL, IIUC. The license for those .png icons then states that the sources for them need to be made available (i.e. the format that is preferred for editing them, in this case .svg or .ai or whatever.). > Your approach is counterproductive.

FWIW, I didn't make the statement to threaten anybody, I just wanted to point out the seriousness of the problem. Anyway, I won't continue this discussion further. cheers domi _______________________________________________ kde-artists mailing list kde-artists@mail.kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-artists
