Hi all,

After stumbling around a bit on the icon8.com web site, it looks like we
will be fine to use their icons freely, in any form obtained from their web
site. We just are not allowed to edit them except for the most basic
operations.
https://icons8.com/license
https://icons8.com/pricing (scroll down, read the Free pane on the left)
https://community.icons8.com/t/recolor-an-icon/1424
https://icons8.com/articles/we-contributed-icon-to-imageoptim/
It might be nice to tell them that we use some of their icons:
http://disq.us/p/1p1l0dn

However, not all content in Squeak is actually under the proclaimed MIT
license. This does not only apply to these icons, but also to the already
included fonts.
https://www.fontsquirrel.com/license/Bitstream-Vera-Sans
We have to reproduce their copyright notice.

Should Squeak's license statement therefore not include a list of the
included parts and their licenses? Currently it only lists the MIT license
and the Apache License under Help > License Information and on the website:
https://squeak.org/license/

It would be more appropriate to include the attribution notice in a more
visible place than the methods with the bytes in them. Most users will not
look there. Somewhere in the About window, or a small notice on the welcome
screen would be more suitable.

If you agree that this should be done, I suggest to do it rather before the
release than after. Maybe not looking through the complete image, but at
least catalogue the known parts: icons and fonts.

Kind regards,
Jakob
