The Nuvola are indeed quite beautiful, i wish we could use those. I don't know the ins and outs of licenses, maybe there is someone here at Apache who we can ask. If a work is LGPL and you the relicense it as Apache, will that override the first license, will it modify it? Would that be a problem to prior users with the old license?
Also, I am wondering if we will find suitable icons for things like "postmaster addess" "spool" "inbox location" it all seems awfully specific to me. There is also the possibility of recruiting one of this artists, but that is, i guess, a long shot.
