--- Comment #1 from Andres Betts <anditosan1000 at gmail.com> ---
I think something we have to remember is what type of graphic we are speaking
of. Sometimes they are referring to their logo graphic which is not the same as
their icon graphic. Some companies don't provide an icon graphic. In which
case, you have to make something similar that would fit the bill.
However, a few companies provide their own icon graphic for various sizes, in
which case, we should simply copy/paste into the icon collection for our
system. Sometimes these icons contain a TM graphic as well.
For reference, I did just that on the 24px collection for icons belonging to
other companies. Just copy paste, no modifications. The 22px collection had the
same, but I can't ascertain if they came from a company source or from a
modified icon source. Unsure.
Still, the icons belonging to companies should probably not be re-licensed.

I hope that's clear LOGO is not the same as ICON. Those are two different
graphics.
