It's not directly under GPL. All pages are "© 19942006 Jakub 'jimmac' Steiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. All Rights Reserved." and on some of the pages of the personal site of jimmac, big fat warnings appear that the icons are not in public domain. > It means if original cursors were really under GPL then a package is clean > GPL. I hope I did not harm any license. The original cursors might be under GPL if they were published (perhaps in one distribution) as a GPLed tarball; for example, OpenSuse has an old gnome-icon-theme which floats on mirrors and was under GPL, and it carries /some/ of the cursors, just not all. Your work (modifying some of the images from the upstream site) is either GPL (as a derived work of a GPl work), or illegal, but let us hope for the best for now. > But if I understand the problem correctly in Martin's industrial-cursor-theme > (which is the reason for this discussion) there are used symlink names from > my package.

No, Martin's "patch" adds some files from your tarball too, not only symlinks (in cursors/: crossed_circle, pirate, bd_double_arrow, fd_double_arrow, copy, hand). I'll contact jimmac and see whether either the tarball or the icons on his site are GPL, or whether they were published as GPL in some distro. Bye, -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
