[17:40:32 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> I'm developing a new capability for the Calendar Portlet and I need an icon to represent a download link to download a calendar to an iCal file. I have a couple of questions.

[17:41:04 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> a) to maintain visual consistency throughout the default portal UI is there an icon elsewhere in the portlets/portal code that I can use to represent downloading a calendar?

[17:42:31 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> b) from a licensing perspective I've found some icons on iconfinder.com. One has the GNU LGPL, another has a creative commons no derivatives license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/)

[17:44:05 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> From a licensing perspective, I'm thinking either is OK; let me know if you know otherwise (I'm not terribly familiar with the LGPL license)

[17:45:49 CDT(-0500)] <holdorph> https://wiki.jasig.org/display/LIC/Third-Party+Licenses

[17:46:04 CDT(-0500)] <holdorph> Category X List

[17:46:12 CDT(-0500)] <holdorph> hird-party content obtained under these licenses should not be included in Jasig projects.

[17:46:41 CDT(-0500)] <holdorph> LGPL code can not be included in jasig projects

[17:48:19 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> Thanks Chris.

[17:49:52 CDT(-0500)] <athena> jwennmacher: we actually also have a few icon libraries bundled w/ uportal

[17:50:00 CDT(-0500)] <athena> you could take a look through the list and see if there's a good match

[17:50:25 CDT(-0500)] <athena> i'd recommend looking through the famfamfam (tons of small icons) and tango (bigger but more limited) directories in the resource serving webapp

[17:50:31 CDT(-0500)] <athena> offhand i think there's something download-y in famfamfam

[17:51:48 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> athena: thanks I'll take a look
