Re: KDE artwork : reuse of icons under GPL-2 ?

Thanks for your answers.

According to the devs, Oxygen icons are now under LGPL-2 (their website is out of date). The CrystalSVG website
(http://www.everaldo.com/crystal/?action=license) says LGPL too, but the GPL licence is then mentionned. Lets say it is LGPL :)

Since my application also loads the icons (it is a web-interface), I presume it is ok too. If it's not, just let me know.

Yes it is compatible, I've been confused by this ( http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLCommercially ) :

---------------
** If I use a piece of software that has been obtained under the GNU GPL, am I allowed to modify the original code into a new
program, then distribute and sell that new program commercially? **
=> You are allowed to sell copies of the modified program commercially, but only under the terms of the GNU GPL.

The CeCILL licence is not a commercial one, but using it means my code won't by released "under the terms of the GNU GPL" like
the text says, that's why I asked :)
