Right to left as in random places? If so upstream needs to verify the
licenses of these icons carefully.
Upstream uses a dual license. I've changed the license from

You are not allowed to change the license of a package. However when you
distribute software which is dual licensed, you are allowed to
distribute under any one of those license if you wish to do so.
