[Tango-artists] Copyrighting a logo with tango icons inculded

[Niklas Park]

At http://tango.freedesktop.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions it is made clear
that the icons are placed in the public
domain<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain>.
Older versions were under CC
by-sa<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/>.

As long as your friend uses the newer versions, he should be able to do more
or less whatever he pleases with the icons.
As to the copyright, I suppose you'r referring to  the derivative work. I
hope he's not claiming copyright to the icons themselves. That would not be
OK.
