(Get the code!)
Hi Phil,
First of all, thanks for considering to release the icons under an additional license.
From my point of view (I produce the packages of sensors-applet that end up in Debian), an unambigous statement that the icons are additionally licensed under a Debian-compatible license would be great. For the sake of simplicity, it would be better if you chose the same terms as the rest of sensors applet (that is, GPL version 2 or higher); but if you would prefer to say with the Creative Commons licenses, the CC BY-SA 3.0 license is also Debian-compatible.
The following text should do it, delete text from the portion in {braces} as applicable:
"I, as the author of the icons used by the GNOME Sensors Applet, state that they are licensed under {the GNU General Public License, version 2 or any later version/the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license}."
If you have some way to digitally sign the statement (with PGP for instance) it would help, but it's not really necessary.
Note that as Cesare said, this doesn't prevent the original license (CC BY-SA 2.5) from continuing to apply.
Thanks again!
