Hi, just wondering if I could use unmodified gimp icons in a commercial project, what licence are they under? - Cam

Hi Cam,

Wilber is a Tuomas Kuosmannen (sp?) (better known as tigert) creation.

Cheers, Dave.

The GIMP icons are part of the source code and thus licensed as GPL. So you must not use them in a commercial product.

I beg to ask this: suppose he extracts these icons into their own files (.ico, .png or whatever), and then his proprietary application displays these files as part of the GUI. (all of this while putting the files on his site for free download under the GPL license). Would that be considered a violation of the GPL?

As far as I know, proprietary applications can freely open and process GPLed code. So I don't think there's a problem here.

More specifically a non-GPL commercial product. Using them in a GPL commercial product would be fine. Also I believe s/using/distributing with/.

It is not our job to discuss such questions and we are also not qualified to do that. It is up to Mr. Barton to consult a lawyer and ask for legal advice.
