Comment(by N3fr0n):

 Yes, I agree with the GPLv2 licence. One problem seems to be solved.

 And the metaphors – it is quite difficult matter. Every client has the
 different icons, because they have no defined meanings on ICQ. From the
 standart icons (which can be found in ICQ6) there could be just one doubt
 – video camera (official) replaced by photo camera (like in Miranda). In
 unnoficial additional icons it is not so clear. For example the ''zzz''
 status is (in some clients) pictured as cannabis leaf, the ''iron'' status
 is even more uncertain. No-one knows if it’s an iron or some TV logo.

 Beside this, ICQ6 will not show any status when you have one of the
 additional icons set, some clients support only some icons.

 In my opinion it would be good to keep just some of the icons, which we
 can be at least particulary sure of.
