Just a few moments after I asked you, Torsten, a few seconds ago to help to 
find where it is documented that you licensed them under the BSD license, as 
you said in a private email, I found that actually all icons seem even in the 
public domain (or?):

http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdeartwork/IconThemes/kdeclassic contains all 
these kformula icons, and the license for them, as given in the toplevel dir, 
is this:

--- 8< ---
The images inside this directory are COMPLETELY FREE for commercial and non-
commercial use.
Clarification: this means you can copy, modify and redistribute them.
--- 8< ---
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdeartwork/IconThemes/kdeclassic/LICENSE?view=markup

So could you, Yuri, commit your new formula icons now to the Calligra repo and 
reference that statement and maybe even reuse this licensing for your icons?

Abhishek, any comments on the new icons, will your work conflict with them 
somehow?
