This discussion is interesting but I was wondering if the points people are making are correct - so I asked a lawyer

Strictly speaking using the icons is illegal but there is a "fair use" defence.

However, if this is just for *personal use* (no distribution) you wont get sued for it.


So, if you want to make Windows look like MorphOS feel free.

If anyone asks I (Nicholas Blachford, Genesi France) told you.

As for how you get hold of the icons without a copy of MorphOS thats a different question, *cough* screenshot *cough*.
