I think they are, but I would check it.

I've checked, and each of them is under the GNU FDL, except "Button_strike.png"
which is not specified; however, you can use the similar image
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/he/c/c9/Button_strike.png instead, which
is GFDL.

The GFDL is not compatible with the GPL.

I respectfully disagree. Having too many preferences is too confusing.

I think the new usability initiative toolbar will replace the old one and thus we can close this bug.
