As the icon was made from scratch, I don't think there is any licensing
issue. As the copyright states, the icon is GPL.

The only issue here is a trademark one, but as the icon is used to
reference firefox itself, I'd have guessed it is allowed. I'm CCing
debian-legal, as this has been discussed to death and I guess someone
will have more clues than myself.
