Hi, I'm not entirely sure who to contact about this, but hopefully the
mailing list is the right place.

Anyway, a friend of mine wants to copyright a logo for his business with a
couple icons from the tango base icon set included on it. Is it possible for
him to do that? I assume that since they're public domain, we could, but I
want to know for sure.

At http://tango.freedesktop.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions it is made clear
that the icons are placed in the public
domain<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain>.
Older versions were under CC
by-sa<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/>.

As long as your friend uses the newer versions, he should be able to do more
or less whatever he pleases with the icons.
As to the copyright, I suppose you'r referring to the derivative work. I
hope he's not claiming copyright to the icons themselves. That would not be
OK.
