Since it appears that the original tango set is now Public Domain (see here: klepas.org/2008/07/14/tango-pu…, and here: lists.freedesktop.org/archives…), I think this changes how I was required to license some of my icons.  I have been releasing them under CC-by-SA for a little while now, since I released my Tango Weather Icon Pack, but now I guess this means I can and should re-license them under Public Domain?

For those of you who are involved with the project that check this page (or have general knowledge about the subject), what does this mean for use of the Tango set resources?  Can they now be used on websites without attribution (even though its bad form)?  I just want to make sure that I am doing it right, especially after the lengthy conversation about licensing in my previous works.

Public Domain also makes it easier to bundle with GPL software, which was the reason GNOME had to create a Tango inspired icon theme for GNOME, they couldn't bundle CC-licensed icons.
