So, regarding LGPL:
* you are currently using LGPL3-only, while we use LGPL-3-or-higher
* in the near future, we'll add the MPL2 license to the fold (the
reason for that is that we do not want to seem commercially-unfriendly
and also do still hope to be able to welcome the Apache OpenOffice
contributors to our project at some point.)

So currently (for 3.6) we are using your icons under CC-BY-SA (which
is apparently fine for now...). Mid-term, though, I believe, we'd like
to switch that to MPL2 for reasons of manageability/license tracking
(which of our icons are under MPL which are under CC-BY-SA?, etc.)
which can be quite hard, especially with binary PNG files.
