Since these icons will be distributed with GPL or LGPL software, it seems the
most prudent choice to make certain that the license os the icons is the same
as the software they're distrubuted with.

Is there any objection to releasing them under the LGPL?   So long as it's okay
to redistribute them as part of a GNU project (e.g. GNUstep), I don't see any
problem.   I just want to make sure we're covering all of the bases here. :)

I've seen some examples of the quality of the icons and I am impressed.  At
some point it would be nice to have a new icon for Gorm as I am not really
enamoured of the current one, but I, unfortunately, lack the artistic talent to
create a really nice new one. 

Thanks, GJC
