A:  I never saw that site.

B:  I never submitted icons to that email address, which I have never emailed.

C:  Neither of the above existed when I created my original icons (which are, 
by the way, released under the GPL as stated in the original tar.gz's I made 
available from my website...

So now, the question is, what if I took I took icons DIRECTLY from KDE, 
modified them a little bit, and included them in a commercial program.

Would the icons being publicly available be sufficient, or would the entire 
program?  My belief is that the GPL only applies to what it covers, it 
doesn't automatically expand to cover everything it's inclusions happen to be 
used within.

I think this is a good excercise for the legal minds. :)
