"Free for commercial use" isn't a Koha-compatible license. For example, there are many people using Koha in a non-commercial library, and so wouldn't be allowed to use it. I know, that sounds a bit silly, but that's literally what the (poor excuse for a) license says. Additionally, it'd be nice that if we had icons, they allowed derivative works to be made, so we can modify them to suit more, change colours to fit a theme, etc. The absolute ideal would be CC-BY-SA, as that's a very close analogue with the GPL, but most CC licenses would work provided it doesn't include Non-Commercial or No-Derivatives. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

CC-BY would probably be a good choice. Or CC0 even. It's unclear if they have the rights to license them, IE im unclear if they hold the copyright or if they took those icons from somewhere else.
