Comment(by rekkanoryo):

 Replying to [comment:66 N3fr0n]:
 > Someone on µTorrent forum contacted me about using my xstatus icons in
 Pidgin. I’d be happy to participate, but: 1. I need to be sure what to do
 with licence. (They’re my work inspired by Tango guidelines, so is this
 suitable: [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/]?) 2. I don’t
 have all the icons and the last few (starting from ''typing'') have
 slightly different metaphors from Miranda descriptions. What will we do
 about this?

 Pidgin is a GPL version 2 application, which makes us license-incompatible
 with the CC Attribution-Share Alike license.  If you're fine with GPLv2,
 that would simplify matters significantly.  If you prefer, you could also
 have it be the redistributor's choice of the CC license or the GPL
 (obviously Pidgin would choose the GPL option).

 As for the metaphor differences, I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
 If you could clarify that, it would be helpful.

 im.org/files/screenshot/81-1-1209928248-preview.png]) is a screenshot.
 Just for quick image, some of the icons are outdated (the actual version
 is improved).

 Those look fine to me, but I'd like hbons' opinion on them.
