OpenOffice.org is under the LGPL, and the LGPL is compatible with the
GPL, so GPLed icons should be fine.  Or is there is GPL-incompatible
software in the OpenOffice.org distribution?

Also, I don't think the GPL's copyleft applies to a program loading
icons from files, so unless the icons are linked into the OO.o binaries,
compatibility shouldn't be an issue anyway.
