That's why I disagree with the commit of the latest icons for kdegames.
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-commits&m=111953209913961&w=2

Because it is not what KDE agreed to do a few months ago.

I ask again this commit to be REVERSED in order not to be the open door to 
oldish issues we tried to solve (no licence and no source). Allowing this 
commit is allowing any icons for kde 3.5 without source as defined by Kenneth 
above. Allowing this commit is against the agreement KDE people reached 
previously.
