lbruun commented on issue #289: [NETBEANS-126] Replace with trademark free icons
URL:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/289#issuecomment-346582847
@Chris2011 Java Swing doesn't support SVG. As for using some other icons:
If we choose something which for sure isn't trademarked then by definition it
won't look like the real brand icon, i.e. user will not instantly recognize it
representing e.g. Safari. In other words it defeats the purpose. The legal
question here is not what art-work of say a Safari logo we can use (there are
lots to choose from and there are many which have a license compatible with
Apache). Nope, the question is - as I understand it - if we can distribute with
the release something which is a trademarked logo. So the question is if we
can use the Safari logo itself, not which icon suite to get it from. (Safari
used here as an example)

> Browser icons needs to be re-instated

> Key: NETBEANS-126

> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: lbruun
> Assignee: lbruun

> A number of browser icons were "removed" from the donation, in [this
> changeset|http://hg.netbeans.org/releases/rev/034a0c65c347?revcount=1500].
> They weren't actually removed, rather they were all replaced with a dummy
> NetBeans icon. I think Oracle removed them because Oracle couldn't donate
> such icons, as they don't "own" these trademarks.
> h2. Module path "css.editor"
> Removed from {{css.editor}}:
> !css-editor-icons.png!
> The browser icons in this module are - as far as I can tell - only used for
> code completion hints on CSS where they are used to signal if the browser has
> support for the CSS property or not. Example:
> !css-editor-icons-usage.png!
> h2. Module path "web.browser.api"
> Removed from {{web.browser.api}}:
> !web-browser-api-icons.png!
> The above icons are all replaced in the donation with a dummy NetBeans icon:
> !nb-icon.png!
> I'll do a PR to re-instate these.
