That's probably complicated. For what it's worth, ImageMagick's
`convert' seemed to be the convenient way to do batch conversions. (I
guess it can do the same thing as Gimp if you find the right options,
but I don't know.)

Then the policy has changed completely. (The reason I raised it is
that rms insisted on an assignment for the original gtk icons before I
could use them, and we went to some trouble to get it.) I guess it
would be helpful if a policy on this sort of thing was clearly stated
in the maintainers' manual and was more constant.

I think information on the origin should go in ChangeLog. If I was
looking for copyright info (as I often had to do), I'd see who was
credited there and then check the assignments file for the apparent
author.
