Not only is it legitimate, it is required that you remove those icons from the source tarball (not just rm them during %setup or %build). > Also are icons from opensource applications like ie. firefox, thunderbird free to use in a theme for fedora? If Mozilla (or in any other cases, the owner of the trademark) is fine with their trademarks being used in that way, then we can include them. You'll need to ask and get permission (or find a trademark usage guideline that explicitly clears this case). If I had to guess, I'd say they're not comfortable with this, but you should ask and be sure: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/trademarks/policy/ ~tom == Fedora Project _______________________________________________ legal mailing list legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/legal
