[Tango-artists] Yet another Tango icons licensing question, with Artistic 2.0 this time

[Raúl Núñez de Arenas Coronado]

Hi all :)

I'm thinking about releasing a program under Artistic 2.0, and I'm
considering distributing an icon with the program. Right now my best
bets are:

- Creating an icon myself. I'm afraid it would be a very poor and ugly
  looking icon...

- Not distribute the icon, just specify a path in the distributed
  .desktop file and use some system icon (from gnome-theme, for example)
  that has high chances of being there. Difficult unless I made a
  package for some distro and fill a dependency with package gnome-theme
  or something like that. Not very pretty...

- Distribute a gnome icon. Not possible since Artistic 2.0 is less
  restrictive than GPL and the gnome-theme is GPL'd. As far as I know, I
  cannot redistribute a GPL'd icon together with my application.

- Use a tango icon.

Let's assume I choose #4 and I use and distribute a tango icon. These
icons are licensed under CC-BY-SA, and so I have two questions about it:

- Am I allowed to redistribute a ccbysa icon in my Artistic 2.0
  application? For what I understand from both licenses, there shouldn't
  be any problem, but I want to make sure.

- If I'm allowed to do the redistribution: how the authors want to be
  credited (attributed, in CC lingo)? I would redistribute a modified
  version of the icon.

Thanks a lot in advance, specially for such good-looking icons! :)
