Hi Marcelo,

actually I noticed in the latest upstream tgz you have added a COPYRIGHT file
that states the following:
Files: share/icons/*
Copyright: 2011, Joern Konopka

$ find share/icons/ -type f |wc -l
25

If CC has the NC clause it won't be fit for Fedora (and neither Debian FWIW) 
as it makes the whole distribution/download quite a dodgy ground (even covering 
CD download bandwidth costs with advertising could be violating the license in 
certain jurisdictions). As we're really just talking about a single icon (in
different sizes or themes), can you either:
A) Ask the upstream authors of the icons to relicense the icons to a more 
friendly license (CC-BY or CC-BY-SA for example):
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#Good_Licenses_2

B) Get a completely different icon for the program that is licensed under one
of the above licenses.

I theoretically could prepare a source tarball without the problematic
icons
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SourceURL#When_Upstream_uses_Prohibited_Code),
but it makes 
zero sense for something that can be trivially fixed by upstream and you
might want to fix it anyway if you are interested in polly being adopted
by most distros ;)

Thanks,
Michele
