to me this would seem to be a derivative work of the Windows icon for deleting files. Liliana-60 (talk) 01:04, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
- ...which can be assumed to be in the public domain. Microsoft is delivering most of these icons with i.e. Visual Studio suggesting to use the same icons for similar tasks. --PaterMcFly (talk) 19:46, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

- What I've found is this statement (the "licensing terms" they talk about says that the icons must only be used for the indicated purpose, meaning i.e. an icon for deleting must be used to indicate deleting - this is not a problem here). Also, the icon is rather different from the Windows one, not more than the idea could have been taken over (which is not copyrightable). Also, the image here is rather old, so I wouldn't bet its even older than the windows image, as they have been changing with every version or service pack. --PaterMcFly (talk) 19:34, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
