In an attempt to get a unified icon theme for Synfig, I tried to get the Tango Desktop Project to dual-license their icons (they're under CC-SA right now, which is incompatible with the GPL). Some excerpts from the response:
There's a solution that is slightly more involved, but solves a lot more in the long run. That's to switch to the icon naming spec and dynamic loading. The goal would be that once synfig is installed on a system with Tango icons installed, the end user would get those used without them having been distributed in synfig's package itself.The Tango naming spec covers the basics:There are some "Additional Sets"The one of primary interest would be the ArtLibreSet
and
As Jon said, using the spec-names are the way to go, and if that is not
possible code-wise, I suggest you take a look at gnome-icon-theme, that
is following the tango style-guidelines, but are licensed as gpl.
For how to handle application-specific stuff, have a look at this page:

As your application is gpl, it's wisest from a licensing perspective to
use gpl licensed icons as well. Note that the art-libre icons Jon
pointed you to is gpl, so there should be no problem to use those.
