That is incompatible with every version of the GPL.  If the icons
would be part of the program, Emacs, that would be no good.

If the icons would NOT be part of the program, Emacs, then there
is no conflict.

The Emacs distribution contains many works, including textual, art,
and small programs, which are distinct from the program, Emacs.
