Comment 29 for bug 753584

Hi all, sorry for the late reply - had a few days vacation.

A short disclaimer before I reply to individual comments: At the moment, there is no official ODF icon set being shared by multiple applications / desktops. So we've created icons that contain vendor neutral application symbolism (like text lines, spreadsheet grid, ... within the document icon). In special cases (e.g. Tango icons in the UI) we've adapted the colors / shadings slightly according the target color palette.

@ Björn (comment #12):
> Christoph Noack: Please clarify if you would oppose usage of the LO icons for ODF in general.
From my POV, they can be used to represent these document types (and personally, I would be more than happy). So if LibreOffice is the preferred application to handle ODF within Ubuntu, this surely would be helpful for users.

@ Vish (comment #14):
> (2) is not necessarily contacting authors, we need to check the Copyright license the LibO icons are published, and if we are allowed to copy them to other icon themes.
Same license as the source code; the original icons (see comment #18 for link) should be licensed as "CC-by-SA, LGPL 3+, MPL 1.1)". If there are any questions, I can help to clarify that - of course.

@ Sergey (comment #20):
> I wonder if it's the Humanity theme I'm thinking of... the "open" icon is clearly not from the one based on Elementary.
This icon is still based on the previous work by Sun/Oracle (colored version: Galaxy by Sun, derived version: StartCenter specific to match Oracle branding). We didn't update it yet ... sorry :-\

Please tell me if you need further information / support ... Christoph
