> Icon in the Public Domain.

You can't re-create an icon to circumvent trademark law.

Using icon to refer to an application is fair use.

I am not sure what's the point of having a public domain icon.

Think of the fact that nobody working on the project even considered that as a helpful warning to not use it.

Even more humorous is the fact they decided to repeat this blunder under every single icon instead of neatly below the table.

Who's re-creating an icon? I can only see links to images from Wikipedia
