Yes, they are. But it is easy to find other cases; this is from SciTE
source file gtk/pixmapsGNOME.h:
// Set of images for tool bar buttons
// Icons Copyright(C) 1998 by Dean S. Jones
// http://jfa.javalobby.org/projects/icons/
// Modified to have same names as tigert.h
// Not really anything to do with Gnome - just calling this
// file pixmapsGNOME to fit in with previous code.
[...]
The icons can be downloaded from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/icon-collection/, since the main site
does not work. The README file says:
[...] You are free to
use them [the icons] in your programs, but I am retaining Copyright,
and they
can not be used in any books, CD-ROM's,
Web pages, or any other form of image collection without my consent. I
ask that if you do use them to drop
me some e-mail at dean@gallant.com, also, if a screen shot of your
application using these icons is available I
will add a link to it from this page. I would please me greatly if you
would add a little blurb in something like a
``Help about..'' screen like:
Icons Copyright(C) 1998 by Dean S. Jones
dean@gallant.com www.gallant.com/icons.htm
[...]
Anyway, from the feedback received from my previous message it seems to
me that very few people care about that nor consider it to be a
problem.
Regards.
