+Public Domain Icons
+
+ These icons were originally made for Mosaic for X and have been
+ included in the NCSA httpd and Apache server distributions in the
+ past. They are in the public domain and may be freely included in any
+ application. The originals were done by Kevin Hughes (kevinh@kevcom.com).
+ Andy Polyakov tuned the icon colors and added a few new images.
+
+ If you'd like to contribute additions to this set, contact the httpd
+ documentation project <http://httpd.apache.org/docs-project/>.
+
+ Almost all of these icons are 20x22 pixels in size. There are
+ alternative icons in the "small" directory that are 16x16 in size,
+ provided by Mike Brown (mike@hyperreal.org).
