I think this is answered in the legal FAQ:

https://apache.org/legal/resolved.html#handling-public-domain-licensed-works

We should stay inside category A licenses. Everything else will lead to
discussions and might pose problems. The less license text/copyright/required
notice is present the better. We have to mark all files, that are not plain
ALv2/not licensed to the ASF, this might prove to be painful and should be
avoided if possible.

Maybe there are good base icons in the same spirit as the Tango Desktop
Project, which distributed the icons in the public domain. We went that
way to replace the npm icon, where the origin project was not willing to
release the graphics under an open enough license.
