Talk about “from graphic art perspective”, you should check out Seth’s other artwork 
. As for me, I’m just a copy paster artist (not sure if this is a real word in English 
).
@cscs now I understand what you mean (sorry for my bad english understanding). You mean why not I put the iconset itself in a public repo (minus all my garbage scripts and experiment stuff) and work together with other who is interested on it.
The thing is, I’m not so sure how the open source stuff works. Am I allow to do that because I’m not the the original author of the iconset. What I did was just modding. Do I need to request permission if I want to do that?
What is the license of the icons used?
(Or the source so we can look)

That depends on the licence.

I’m not 100% sure, how can I check the license used? I get the original iconset from pling
Ah, thats GPLv3 ..
Basically you can do whatever you want, no permission required, so long as you also use/include the same (GPLv3) license.

Looking at the github, the licence is the GPL. This allows you to fork the project also under the GPL. You could even make a pull request to ask the original creator to merge your changes into his project.
Ah. I see @cscs beat me to it again.

How in the planet did you find this ?
Well if it is safe, I will setup a repo in github (going to be my first project in github 
)
Thanks @cscs and @MyNameIsRichard
On the link you gave there is a link to the github, which has a file called LICENSE, the traditional place to put your projects license.
So if I’m going to create a new project, can I just copy the license file?
So you have roughly 3 options as I see it.
- Fork the repo (license already there) and make changes.
- Start a project and use the built-in license selection system (choose GPLv3) then upload.
- Assemble your project including license (from any source, including copied from orion) and upload that in its entirety.
You dont need to have a fork relationship according to git. Though it may be useful.
You dont need to use github as your git host either .. though that may be easiest as its the most widely used and what orion is on.
The only thing you need to do legally speaking is include GPLv3 with your version of the icon set, whenever it is distributed.

Options #3 seems feasible to me.
Edit: Since it’s ok to host it anywhere, I will think where to host 
I’ve updated the icon set by adding gradients while still retaining the plasma color scheme. If you’re interested, feel free to download it from the Bitbucket repository linked in this post.
As for setting up a public repository, since this is just a personal project I’m exploring in my free time, I don’t think it’s necessary. It’s mainly for fun, and I doubt it will attract much interest.
