These icons were originally made for Mosaic for X and have been |
4 |
included in the NCSA httpd and Apache server distributions in the |
5 |
past. They are in the public domain and may be freely included in any |
6 |
application. The originals were done by Kevin Hughes |
7 |
(kevinh@kevcom.com). |
