Could someone please explain why patching this bug isn't an option? i.e.
swap out the troublesome icons and replace them with versions that
explicitly allow unrestricted reuse. Hardly a radical fork. Ok, someone
with time and design skills will be needed, and it'd probably reopen
#68180 for a bit, but that seems fairly trivial in comparison.

Naturally IANAL, but if a product is 99.9% open source, and the
remaining 0.1% serves to identify the product proper, then to me it
seems fair use to include that branding wherever the rest of the product
is packaged as a whole. But even if fair use might apply, inclusion of
the images in Gobuntu stills seems inappropriate - there's nothing that
counters the substantive point in Mark's <a

failed">Gobuntu Sucks</a> post.
