Hello Bastien, Thank you for pointing this out. It looks like we can replace it with /usr/share/icons/Tango/scalable/emotes/face-crying.svg, which is essentially the same icon by same author, but appears to be (slightly?) better off license-wise - it carries the CC "Public Domain Certification" [0], although that license appears to be discouraged. For what it's worth, other folks have neglected to look at the metadata in the file itself as well. For example, this page [1] claims public domain (and the file history claims cc-by-sa-2.5), but downloading the 48x48 file shows that it's the same file that you detected in xhtmlrenderer, carrying the cc-by-nc-sa license. For the Java Team, it also appears that xhtmlrenderer has been renamed to flyingsaucer [2], so we may want to do a sourceful transition once this bug is addressed.
