Is it? Could you please tell me how? I know it wasn't exact, but I thought it might illustrate at least how I can NOT be in favour of something, but still look at it first without passing judgment.
I'm sorry, its a bit difficult to keep up with the numerous people who've been responding to me. My fault for starting all this. The main goal (as a bit carried over from the previous thread about this kind of thing) was that I am worried that if we don't take a good look at what we're fighting before we condemn it, we might hurt ourselves in the long run. Using icons we don't know have the artist's permission isn't all that far away from enjoying art on a website like the one in question. If we change it from a site that asks for donations for 'free' art, to a site that does the same thing with thousands of icons available for use, its almost exactly the same, isn't it?
