Answered. "Yep that was me. I am sorry for not informing you first; I will do better next time.<div id="yui_3_3_0_1_130512411481926" class="boardCommentBody"> The reason for deletion was that the pdf logo was on the pdf icons, and while I loved those icons, OCAL policy and PD/CC0 states that we cannot accept any clipart with other companie's logos on or in them. At the time I was deleting many, many violating cliparts (over 100) from the past, that have already been notified, but were not actioned for months (sometimes years), and I guess I got a bit too enthusiastic about cleaning the Library. I assumed that you knew the pdf logo was on the icons. I regretted that I had to delete them because I liked what the cliparts looked like, and by deleting them, I was breaking up a nice set of icons. If you can find a way to design the same icons without the pdf logo, and re-upload that would be great. Please accept my humble apologies for not informing you of the clipart copyright violation first. I will endeavour to inform of such things first, before I take any further action, in the future. Thank you for taking the time to ask your question.
