Hi,
roxterm.svg is a derivative of the "Etiquette" terminal icon described
in its metadata. I've asked the original author for permission to change
the licence to CC-BY 4.0, but in case he's no longer reachable at the
address I found for him, I think I might be able to change the licence
anyway. I've read a few things that imply CC 2.0 does allow derivative
works to be distributed under later versions of the licence, but I don't
understand the legalese in the official licence well enough to confirm
that. For example <https://wiki.debian.org/DFSGLicenses> says, "In
addition, the version 2.0 and 2.5 [of CC-BY-SA] are NOT transitively
compatible because of clause 4b, since that only allows redistribution
of *derivative works* under later versions of the license." Can you
confirm whether I'm allowed to use a newer version of CC in this case,
or should I ask debian-legal?
