- duskwuff 16y agoMost of the icons in the "Futurosoft" set you've linked look like they were ripped from various sources (mostly from Windows 7, with a few from OS X). It looks like the set was syndicated from kde-look.org, and I've shot them a message about the situation.
- iconfinder 16y agoThey were syndicated from Futuresoft - I will look them through and remove those from OS X and Windows. None of the icons were specifically from Win 7 since Futuresoft was released many years ago.
- duskwuff 16y agoStrange - looking at a lot of the icons, like the ones following, they certainly must have been designed to resemble Windows icons, but I can't find the exact icons they're modeled after. I'm really not sure where these would stand, as far as copyright goes - a number of them have enough resemblance to real Windows icons (or other trademarks) that you'd probably get legal grief for trying to use them in your own product, for instance. http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/7043/128/aim_icon http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/7043/128/aim_icon http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/7121/128/sonic_icon http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/7121/128/sonic_icon http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/7175/128/folder_windows_icon http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/7175/128/folder_window... http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/7365/128/staroffice_icon http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/7365/128/staroffice_ic... http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/7394/128/users_windows_icon http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/7394/128/users_windows... http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/7563/128/lib_wine_icon http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/7563/128/lib_wine_icon http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/7609/128/mp3_sound_icon http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/7609/128/mp3_sound_ico...
