I don't think that this is the intent of that sentence, I think it only means
that the LGPL applies to the crystal theme even though it's no usual
library of code (but a "library of artwork" instead).

But I didn't write it, so I'm cc'ing kde-artists, so that those who wrote this
license can clarify it.

Adding such a restriction on the use of the icons wouldn't be very compatible
with the LGPL though, I think.
