Creative Commons Icons

Hello,

can I use Creative Commons icons for the Cas Editor ?

I would like to include a few from this collection:
http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Desktop_Project

Thanks,
Jörn

Probably this needs to be asked on general@incubator.apache.org.

The license looks harmless enough to me, but IANAL.

Looks to me like it is the last one (Attribution-Sharealike).  So we
should probably ask if there's been any further decision about its
"questionable" nature.

It depends on the *kind* of creative commons license involved (there are 
many variations of this license).

Here's the table, from the note referenced below:

Acceptable but somewhat discouraged:
- Creative Commons Attribution

Unacceptable:
- Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs
- Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial
- Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs
- Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike

Questionable -- needs a closer look (would probably get same treatment as OSL):
- Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike
