Icons and themes usually have their own license, at least in big projects. 
Since the license is explicit, there is no question whether they are to be 
treated as software or as document. In a small project, a program with some 
icons, they will probably be under the same license as the code. GPL and LGPL 
are not meant for code only. 

Cordialemente,
