Hold on.. :) Your work is very much appreciated, and I think that speaks for 
all of the KDE developers. Andy Fawcett does not question your dedication to 
the KDE community, nor if it's in the spirit of Open Source, but rather the 
formal requirements of the licensing.
Ante Wessels when writing "the Crystal icons are not really open source" he 
most likely refers to the remaining svgs or the other working formats(the 
PNGs is as we know open source'd) for the crystal icons. The absence of the 
source/working format files for the crystal icons causes us a lot of trouble. 

But, there is an explanation to this. Judging from the interview you gave on 
LinuxCult[1] the reason why they are in png and not svg is because the final 
working format is really not svg but psd(if I got everything right).
So, while on the subject - is there any possibility the source files(psd, svg, 
whatever) could be made available for the KDE community?

And please note, your work is _very_ much appreciated, there is just practical 
problems when the working formats is not available.

Cheers! :)
