Description jdagostino 2010-08-28 15:47:37 UTC 
The Tango icon theme that is distributed with OO.o is based on a really ancient
version of the icon set that used the floppy disk for the save icon and gray
folders and such. It would be nice if this could get updated to a more recent
version of the theme so that it would blend in with other applications using the
Tango theme on the same machine.

As it so happens, it looks like that was already done here:
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Tango+OpenOffice?content=54799

but that never made its way into the official release.

@Kendy: please have a look. Thank you!

The original icons are under Public Domain. These are:

Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/

While the license is appropriate for the type of content, adopting it would still mean adding restrictions that we dont currently have. The license doesnt classify as category A but maybe could be considered category B if someone feels like doing the extra packaging involved.

Actually the base icons were removed since they are copyleft. I am unsure if CC-SA is acceptable or not but at least its more appropriate in this case than the previous copyleft software license.
Someone from legal will have to analyse it.

Closing the issue because Tango icon set was removed from AOO.
