Hello, is it possible SVGs of the icons could be made available? I'm assuming that as a GPL3+ work that would be the nearest equivalent of source code.

I'm sure at the moment you don't want people contributing icons, but it might help for things like games.

Thanks for the great icon set. Its the first in a while to unseat Moka on my computer.

It's quite strange that that a GPL'd icon pack doesn't provide it's source. @libanp is right. @fsvh You gotta provide the source files for the icons, be it SVG, AI or what ever format you created the icons in. Releasing the source ensures that this unbelievably cute icon pack would continue to evolve and be developed by those who love it. It'll also help to improve support for more DEs like KDE, Cinnamon, XFCE, LXQt, etc. I mean why would anyone create a GitHub repo with GPL licensed content in it, if not for further improvements and contributions to the project :-)

Moka is another icon pack that comes with PNGs only. However, it does still provide source SVGs at its GitHub repo. See: https://github.com/moka-project/moka-icon-theme . Talking of sources, artwork is usually released under one of the Creative Commons licenses, GPL is usually for code. @fsvh Would you consider re-licensing Captiva with one of the Creative Commons licenses? This site helped me pick a license for my project: http://choosealicense.com/ . However, it's always the developer/artist's choice in the end.
