[SurveyForge-devel] Icons for runner

[Jose G. G. <jg...@us...>]

As you may know we were using the Java Look&Feel Graphics Repository icons
in the questionnaire runner. These icons are released by Sun under a rather
restrictive license that didn't let us redistribute them unless they were
packed with our sources or binaries, or included in our source repository.
The problem arose when I needed one of the icons modified to get another
icon: the license forces you to use the icons as they are, without giving
you the possibility of even modifying colors (this is stated explicitly in
the license).

So finally I got fed up of those license issues, googled for a while and
finally I found the Tango project [1]. This project intends to provide a
homogeneous user experience in open source desktops. One of the things they
provide is an icon collection released under a CC license that they even
publish on the maven central repository, so I have dropped the jlfgr jar and
switched to the Tango icons.
