--- Comment #4 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
The distinction between "icon" and "logo" doesn't actually exist; they are one
and the same. If we take a brand's logo, make an icon out of it, and change it
in a way that violates their guidelines and then claim LGPL-licensed copyright
on it, I fear Adam may be correct that this is legally problematic.
Adam, please do feel free to contact a lawyer about this, as it would provide
some legal clarity surrounding the topic. In the meantime, could you provide a
full list of potentially problematic icons?
