Re: [platform-ui-dev] Question on icon reuse

Wendy, I can't speak for the Web Tools Project specifically.  This is the 
mailing list for Platform UI, aka the Workbench. 
If you'd like to ask the web tools team specifically, their mailing list 
is:
http://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/wtp-dev 

But basically any icons available in the eclipse code base are available 
to be copied and used as you will (assuming they're covered by the default 
CPL or EPL license).  Icons are typically covered by the sames license as 
the code.  For more details on the terms of the CPL/EPL, see:
http://eclipse.org/legal/

In addition, the workbench defines some icons that are available via 
public API (no copying required).
See:

http://help.eclipse.org/help30/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/ui/ISharedImages.html

Regards,
Nick

Subject
[platform-ui-dev] Question on icon reuse






I am working on the icon design fo the BIRT Report Designer Project. 
There are icon concepts (field, column, etc0 that are similar to the icons 
in the Web Tools Project, many of which are coming from the recent code 
drop of the Web Tools by IBM.
I am wondering where I can find information regarding the reuse policy of 
icons, particularly from the Web Tools project. 
Thanks,
