If the icons are part of the executable file the whole programme
should come under the LGPL (or GPL) licence (which includes supplying
source code).  You could also ask the copyright holder of each icon
for permission to use it embedded in proprietry software, see the CVS
commit logs (via webcvs.kde.org) for who that is on each icon.

Providing a link is not sufficient and not all the icons come from
everaldo.com.

Yes, in that case you may use the icons with proprietry software
without asking for further permission.
