Icons and Sounds (if not part of the emoticons iconset or part of Gnome default images) are taken (and partly converted) from Gabber and thus they are licensed as GPL. Icons are copyrighted by Youngjin "artwiz" Hahn Sounds are copyrighted by Todd Bradley <ToddBradley@bigfoot.com> > Has Greg Fleming licensed his emoticons to you in any way? Uhm ... no, he didn't. And after so much time I can't figure out exactly how I came to include this iconset. Actually there seems to be a typo. The directory is called 'rythmbox' where's the icondef.xml and the emoticons.js suggest that it's rhymbox rather. Rhymbox was another jabber client. Unfortunately I don't know which license it had. I'm pretty sure I've taken those emoticons from there. Some time ago strange things happened to Rhymbox. Up until now nobody knows exactly what happened. But some day the domain rhymbox.com had been taken by some other guys who claimed to be the authors of Rhymbox and distributed it under some commercial license from now on. Greg Fleming and Sebastian Deckers continued development as Pandion (see http://pandion.be). Unfortunately Pandion is not opensource anymore too. As it seems Greg Fleming is distributing packages of rhymbox' original iconset as payware so I doubt he'd relicense it as GPL. Maybe it's best if I just replace the iconset by some other where property and license are not a mystery? Cheers, Steve
