dubious missing license entry (in debian/copyright) related to some files

[Fantu]

Hi, while trying to complete debian/copyright i ran into difficulties, with decopy I spotted missing entry related to https://github.com/linuxmint/mint-x-icons/blob/master/usr/share/icons/Mint-X/apps/96/miro.svg as license "CC-BY", from a look to this file was trigged by xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#" but I not found the exact license and one site mentioned in the file is not present anymore.
With a grep (grep -r creative .) I also found many other files with "creativecommons" not spotted by decopy.
Can someone please tell me what is the exact creative common license?

Hi @Fantu,

They're GPLv3.

They originate from Faenza (https://github.com/shlinux/faenza-icon-theme).

@clefebvre many thanks for reply
on debian copyright is checked deep by ftpmaster review before package inclusion, so checking it I found 1872 files with "creative commons" license field
on mint-y-icons I also found files with "cc" license but CC-BY-SA-4 was specificied, from a deep search I found also files with CC-BY-SA-3 and thanks to credits you added I I quickly checked some dubious licensed files from the "sources themes" and did a complete debian/copyright: https://salsa.debian.org/cinnamon-team/mint-y-icons/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/copyright

about faenza-icon-theme debian/copyright have only GPL-3 that seems strange: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/faenza-icon-theme/-/blob/master/debian/copyright
probably was passed many years ago without good check of copyright, now the package is orphan and seems have also a license issue https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=761478
seems also mint-x-icons like other fork have same license issue and should remove some files, here for example the commit of the other fork that solved the license issue: mate-desktop-legacy-archive/mate-icon-theme-faenza@c147867

@clefebvre Hi, I saw your recent work to remove icons that should not be included (#201) so I'll retry to ask:
when you have time, can you please take a look at the trademark and non-free issue of some icons from the theme from where was forked?

about license seems missed copyright from where was forked in debian/copyright
