First thanks for your quick and friendly reply.
Sorry for the things I should have done better,
like sending the mail to cc-de before by mistake.
It seems in moderation - anybody got the power to stop it?

Attached is a little patch to improve on that.

I created a wiki account but my permission do not suffice.

I gave liblicense-gnome-0.4 a try. Emblem icons are now available
but licensing dialogs seem missing. Are they in there, too?
