Attribution and keeping it CC-BY-SA licensed (and mentioning that) is
all you need to do. Since it's hard to determine who did what icon
exactly without looking at the SVG metadata (Inkscape: File -> Document
Metadata) I think mentioning the Tango artists and the Tango Project
would suffice and rock. :)
