Trademarked icons in digikam?

[Maik Qualmann]

If I look through the icons here under openSUSE, I find some in choqok, breeze 
or oxygen5. Are these icons also problematic? If I understand the guidelines 
correctly, they must not be changed in appearance. We could change that. I was 
recently porting Dropbox to new API and read the guidelines and I think the 
use of Dropbox icons is okay. Dropbox has activated the digiKam uploader 
without complaint. Which solution do you think would be the right one?
