Before the yesterday released version I found the answer from Francesco and tried to explain the license issues a little bit more in detail. The changes could be found in the changeset of r485 [1] (also released in AB-Transfers version 0.0.4.1). I explicit stated the LGPL v3 for the oxygen icons and for the "License: Free" I added a comment from ~Evgen were he said: "It is free for any use, including use in commercial products."
