Review license requirements of Oxygen icons #15

Open Rob--W opened 6 years ago

The copy of Oxygen icons from the repo was retrieved in september 2013, allegedly dual-licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0 and LGPL.

The original site (oxygen-icons dot org) is now taken by a domain squatter, and I cannot find an obvious confirmation that the icons are still dual-licensed in that way.

https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Oxygen/Licensing does suggest that the content is available under LGPL, but says no word about the CC license.

Assuming CC BY-SA 3.0 and LGPL (I don't know legal) allow using the icons, it should still be fine? They can't retroactively remove the license agreement for an already published version? As long as an update isn't used?

I did update the icons, as part of #13.
