The EPL does not seem the same show stopper as the GPL since the Eclipse License and FAQ indicate it is not viral like the GPL.� There is no requirement that an EPL licensed program combined with a non-EPL licensed program requires the combination to be licensed under the EPL as a whole.� In fact it is designed to allow distribution of closed source commercial applications based on it while keeping the common base open source.

FAQ#17 actually says: "When incorporating a portion of a Program licensed under the EPL into my own proprietary product distributed in object code form, can I use a single license for the full product, in other words, covering the portion of the Program plus my own code? Answer: Yes. The object code for the product may be distributed under a single license as long as it references the EPL portion and complies, for that portion, with the terms of the EPL."

Complying with the terms effectively be satisfied by:
1. "sources" be available "just for the icons"
2. Disclaiming warranty and liability - which the MIT already does
3. Assumedly no patent issues arising from inclusion of icons.

Hi, 

Today I was bored and not wanting to think too much... but I wanted to do something for Pharo... and I never liked the current Pharo icons, so I took one icon library I really like and changed all needed icons (well... all that I saw). 
Here a couple of screen shots: 

<Captura de pantalla 2011-12-10 a la(s) 23.05.55.png>
<Captura de pantalla 2011-12-10 a la(s) 23.06.20.png>

Of course, I don't think they are perfect (also maybe I didn't pick the best icons), but I think they look a lot better than the older.

If you want to see how they look, this are the packages: 

for Pharo 1.3: 

<Eclipse-Icons-EstebanLorenzano.2.mcz>

for Pharo 1.4:

<Eclipse-Icons-EstebanLorenzano.4.mcz>


Then you execute: 

ThemeIcons initializeIcons.	
World resetWorldMenu.

... and enjoy your new icons :)

btw... this icons are in an open-source license, the EPL: http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html
so, maybe �if all agree�, we can add this icons to regular distribution :)

best,
Esteban
