[theme-reviewers] License for Glyphicons is unclear

[Chip Bennett]

No, it is not okay to use the full Glyphicons iconset in GPL projects.

Yes, it is okay to use the Halflings subset of the Glyphicons iconset, as
licensed and released with Bootstrap, in GPL(v3) projects.

The Glyphicons Halflings are a *subset* of the full Glyphicons iconset.
Halflings, as documtned by both the Glyphicons creator (copyright holder)
and in the Bootstrap project, are licensed under Apache 2.0. (See linked
GitHub issue for relevant links.)
