What is the license status for these icons?

Can they be distributed along with Gentoo?

Your icons are truly elegant and worthy of publishing along with Gentoo in distributions. However, I think it is difficult for people (packagers, distributors, etc.) to use the icons, unless the license terms are known. Graphics are a little different than source code, so I suggest each author clarify their license.

For example, this popular license set (used by Wikipedia and many others) requires only a couple minutes to make a selection of license terms: Creative Commons Licenses

Of course, everyone is already familiar with the GPL, so that is another option.

In my humble opinion, ideally, each icon set would clearly identify the license type/terms, and the author history (original author + authors who made changes, if any). Then I would know if I can use the icon set, and make certain each author receives due credit. Also, it would be nice if each author included some sort of logo or insignia with an URL to their home page. Then we could have a slick credits page where users can learn more about the authors and their works, and also maybe check out the author's home page and find new/additional graphics and icons.

Hmmm ... I guess I'm proposing a simple author registry:
o Graphic/Icon Set Name
o Original Author
o URL/Email for Original Author
o License Terms (e.g. GPL or Creative Commons)
o List of authors contributing changes / additions under the license terms
o URL/Email for each contributing author

Is this too complicated?
Would people prefer to just handle things via email?

Thanks for your input!

Thanks Wolven!

By adding a license, people can now legally use your gorgeous icons by attributing you and including a simple HTML link to the license (as you did here: http://www.ionbox.org/images/icons/ ). I didn't realize just how many icons you had until now ... WOW!

I just hope the other icon authors also release their icons under a license that allows fellow Gentooites to use them.

I wish I had a screenshot of the first web application I created back in 1995. There were no artists in the team, and we actually went live with some placeholder icons I made .. shudder.

The icons were so bad it was hilarious :lol:

I'm impressed when I see the use of free software to reduce the users freedom.

#gentoo channel is the only one that forces tor users to need request voice, and isn't possible post a message and these forums. Simply because people were using Tor to abuse the forums.

Wolven,
Have you ever considered making themes for ROX, KDE, Gnome, etc?

I made one for the MMPORG of Eternal Lands

---> http://www.deviantart.com/view/12227313/

EDIT: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/12227313/ (Has a gray background, looks better when they do it)

Note: Its my first time doing it, so it may not look sooo good.

I created another one, and this time it is for the game called Gate 88.

I'd like to request an icon for File Roller. Unless it's already been requested somewhere in this very long thread. If that's the case, then I merely second the request.

These icons look absolutly great. Stunning, even. Far, -far- above the usual level of linux icons. So good, I just spent two hours redoing my fvwm config file to use these icons exclusivly. By chance, they happen to mesh very well with the theme I've made.

Well, there is one icon I'm using that isn't from this set.... but I've already requested it be added ;)

Excellent job, all who are responsible.

The default file roller icon (You know, the little bull-dozer) would be great. I'm not terribly picky, begger's not being choosers, and whatnot. ;)

Did you want it posted here (can we post images to the forum without uploading somewhere else?), uploaded somewhere and linked to, or will my poor description be enough?

If you have file roller emerged, you can find it at "/usr/share/pixmaps/file-roller.png". Or at least, that's where I found it. I assume it was installed with file-roller. I'm helpful, arn't I?

And can you tell me how you acheived that bubble? Photoshop, PSP, The GIMP? What filter/plugin was used?
