I'm a decent programmer, but a terrible artist. Can I steal some KDE icons for my application (close, open, new, save, etc...)?
There are going to be some small changes in my plan that invalidate parts of the project specification I sent in. But only in the implementation part. To be more specific, I'm switching from QTreeWidget to QTreeView, using a real model. That won't be a problem, right? (I don't really understand why we had to put implementation details in the project specification anyway.)
I'm running out of time and there might be one other big change. I'll still try, but maybe I won't be able to port to Qtopia. In that case, the application will degrade to a desktop application only. But since I appear to be the only one who was ever going to create a mobile application, you're probably going to merge the two categories anyway?


Thanks.

If you don't violate their licence, then yes. KDE3 crystal icons are licenced under LGPL.

It's ok. We never wanted such details in introductory projects and it's obvious implementation details change.

I think we have three entries in the mobile category, so there is a good chance this category will prevail.

A list of all entries will be published in upcoming days.

Ah, that means I can use them, right? And we're talking about these (http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdeartwork/IconThemes/crystalsvg/32x32/)?

If I use them, should I put some official text somewhere, specifying where I got them?

Ah, so some other entries were made in the last few days, huh. Well, like I said, I'll try to still create the Qtopia version. But I can't guarantee I have the time.

Thanks.

You should obey the licence. LGPL for example means you can't embed the icons into binary code as it has to be possible to replace them. But if you distribute the sources, this is not a problem.

Please do.
