I am trying to package lazarus 1.8 first RC, but I found it contains

Stupid thing is, I don't know which of the images are from this icon
set. What do you suggest we do? E.g. strip the onlinepackagemanger? Dive
into the images (not me)? Ask upstream lazarus to use a more free icon
set? Any other ideas?
I don't think it is sustainable to replace the icons ourselves, as that
would mean a life-long patch that I don't think is worth it.
Paul
