Rather than reinvent the wheel:

Stock icons:
GNOME & Humanity:
<http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gnome-icon-theme/trunk/scalable/actions/document-save.svg>
[my system Humanity:
/usr/share/icons/Humanity/actions/16/document-save.svg
matches the one from freedesktop.org]

Tango:
<http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/tango/tango-icon-theme/32x32/actions/document-save.png?view=co>
[which is not used by LO when the Tango theme is selected - LO still
uses a floppy with the Tango theme. My system Tango:
/usr/share/icons/Tango/22x22/actions/document-save.png
matches the one from freedesktop.org]

freedesktop.org Icon Theme Specification:
<http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html>
"document-save  The icon for the save action. Should be an arrow pointing
down and toward a hard disk."

I suspect that LO are still using these icons for Tango:
<http://jimmac.musichall.cz/i.php?i=Tango-OOo>
[Tango OpenOffice.org 2.0 -Note this artwork is not public domain.]
However, that standard Tango icons *are* public domain:

Terms Of Use

The Tango base icon theme is released to the Public Domain. The palette
is in public domain. Developers, feel free to ship it along with your
application. The icon naming utilities are licensed under the GPL.

Though the tango-icon-theme package is released to the Public Domain, we
ask that you still please attribute the Tango Desktop Project, for all
the hard work we've done. Thanks.
