Web Design: Source for Creative Commons or LGPL icons for use in web apps

I'm working on a web app where I need icons to represent Tables, Views, Stored Procs, and Functions. Where is a good source for these types of icons in a free/cc/LGPL like license?

This is a good example of icons I need (but not free): via redgate

UPDATE:
Please just keeping adding links/answers to this question as you find new sources of open/floss icons.

I like famfamfam icons.

famfamfam is awesome!

I like these... only missing something I can use as a proc, function and view. But it has a good table icon, and a good database "cylinder" icon.

Try the tango icon library from freedesktop.org

I really love this icon set, but it might be a stretch to force some of these to be a table, view, function or proc.

Yes I think you're right - it was just a suggestion really, I wasn't sure if there'd be suitable icons for this purpose. I've +1'd the famfamfam ones.

I've used some from Wikimedia commons in the past

Try Dia icons. They are in Public Domain and contain a lot of computer-related things.

This link is no longer good. :(

Unfortunately. In modern versions of Dia they have been converted to .shape format, which should be convertible back into svg (I suppose one needs to extract only elements from svg namespace). Also Dia itself can export drawings in many formats. Current download link for Dia sources is http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Download, but please note that Dia itself is distributed under GPLv2+ license. So .shapes are probably not public domain unlike the original icons.

In addition to famfamfam, I use the Crystal icon set.

orip  2009-01-06 22:14:50
Crystal is available as single icons from: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Clear

I thought I would throw this into the mix. A listing of a few icon sets.

Some are good. Some "not so much".

Another neat set of LGPL icons (although they are KDE-oriented) are Nuvola: http://www.icon-king.com/projects/nuvola/
