I was hoping that it could be semi-functional, with placeholder icons until the site in question is actually visited. But if the icons are necessary, then they're necessary. > I believe that it is acceptable to ship these icons -- while they > aren't free to modify, there is no real reason why we would need that. I think upstream is claiming that they're free to modify as far as copyright is concerned, which is really all I'm personally concerned about. All of that said, I don't see a difference between us shipping the icons and having the package automatically download them without the user specifically visiting a site.
