If a GPL licence...
by John Allsup on Sunday 02/Nov/2003, @11:25

IANAL, but no. In much the same way that music playing in a bar in the background in a news report doesn't require the news station to have the permission of the copyright holder. Most certainly the episode wouldn't be considered a derivative work of the icons in the way that a modifided version of a GPL'd program is derivative.

IANAL but in fact bars DO have to pay for playing music in the background. My sister works at a bar that was just fined because they haven't payed their licencing fee(annual fee that covers most music). Holeee S*. And I thought the music industry were facists before!
