Ah, so that's what you misunderstood.  The LGPL is indeed not in
action on the source files, but it is on the icons in .png format.
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.).

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.
