Our Symbolic icon theme comes from the art-libre theme now archived by the GNOME design team. It had various authors, including originally Jakub Steiner and Barbara Muraus, then jEsuSdA, Klaus Staedtler, Alexandre Prokoudine and Aryeom Han. Various other people tweaked the icons and may have contributed. See the git log for details. The Color icon theme is more of an original work by Klaus Staedtler, as I understand it, with some additional icons by Alexandre Prokoudine, Aryeom Han and other contributors. See the git log for details. This makes licensing clearer for these specific subsets of the project.

* The GIMP application core, and other portions of the official GIMP

[ The below explicit exemption, we hope, clears up the GIMP

|
developers' position concerning an ambiguity with the GNU General
|
|
Public License concerning what constitutes a 'mere aggregation'
|
|
versus a combined or derived work. The intention is to make it
|
|
clear that arbitrarily-licensed programs such as GIMP plug-ins do
|
|
not automatically assume the GNU General Public License (GPL)
|
|
themselves simply because of their invocation of (or by) procedures
|
|
implemented in GPL-licensed code, via libgimp or a similar interface
|
|
to methods provided by the pdb: ]

* If you create a program which invokes (or provides) methods within
|
|
(or for) the GPL GIMP application core through the medium of libgimp
|
|
or another implementation of the 'procedural database' (pdb) serial
|
|
protocol, then the GIMP developers' position is that this is a 'mere
|
|
aggregation' of the program invoking the method and the program
|

implementing the method as per section 2 of the GNU General Public

License.
