Oxygen
The official KDE 4 icons are the Oxygen SVG icons. These are vector based icons, ready to scale for all resolutions. As the icons are currently under development, they may be viewed via KDE's WebSVN.
- Vector icons can be scaled, and are more efficient: bigger sizes can be rendered with a batch operation.
License
Image previews of Oxygen are released under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.5 License. This is to keep Oxygen fresh for KDE 4, that will be released sometime in the middle of 2006.
The Oxygen icon theme will be released under a GNU License. Most likely, this will be LGPL - however there is hope to have an official GNU License for icons/images by that time.
