 I have taken a look at this bug, and these icons are actually
 scaled-down versions, only to be used as an illustration of the
 product in the statistics. This seems like fair use to me, and as
 such not prohibited.

We may be able to distribute them as fair use in some jurisdictions,
but fair use is not universal.

More importantly, many of the icons in question cannot be modified,
so are not appropriate for main.

Is there really a need to distribute these icons in main? [Perhaps
consider splitting them out into non-free?]

Hi,

 AFAICS we can't distribute some of those files at all :-/

[Filipus Klutiero]

Package: bbclone
Version: 0.4.6-5
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1

bbclone's copyright file indicates that the package is under the GPL,
but a non-GPL Firefox icon is included.
Additionnally, bbclone is in main and the Firefox icon is not
modifiable.
