Description Aurélien COUDERC 2025-01-23 16:46:30 UTC
Dear Maintainer,

according to their PNG metadata, the following icons are non redistributable due to their non-commercial Creative Commercial license :
  Filename: ./32x32/actions/skrooge_much_less.png
  Filename: ./32x32/actions/skrooge_less.png
  Filename: ./32x32/actions/skrooge_more.png
  Filename: ./32x32/actions/skrooge_much_more.png
  Filename: ./16x16/actions/skrooge_much_less.png
  Filename: ./16x16/actions/skrooge_less.png
  Filename: ./16x16/actions/skrooge_more.png
  Filename: ./16x16/actions/skrooge_much_more.png
  Filename: ./48x48/actions/skrooge_much_less.png
  Filename: ./48x48/actions/skrooge_less.png
  Filename: ./48x48/actions/skrooge_more.png
  Filename: ./48x48/actions/skrooge_much_more.png
  Filename: ./22x22/actions/skrooge_much_less.png
  Filename: ./22x22/actions/skrooge_less.png
  Filename: ./22x22/actions/skrooge_more.png
  Filename: ./22x22/actions/skrooge_much_more.png

Each of these file declare the following Copyright in their PNG metadata :
    Copyright: CC Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/

For now I removed them from the Debian package but could you relicense or remove them from Oxygen ?

HOWTO find them :
find . -name "*.png" -exec identify -verbose {} \; | grep "Filename:\|NonCommercial" | grep -B1 NonCommercial


Thanks,
