+Please note that many of the icons in the folder are under the Apache v2
+license, not the GPLv2.
+
+Usually, these two license are considered incompatible because of the
+patent termination clause in the Apache v2 license, however with icons
+that seems to be an entirely moot point. Based on that judgment call,
+I decided to include these icons in this project, but under the explicit
+provision that they are clearly NOT derived from our code and that they
+therefore remain under the Apache v2 license.
+
+This affects at least these icons:
