No it isn't something else (except the author decides so). It's arguable
if a 16x16 pixel icon is enough to be worth of a license, but since it's
part of DokuWiki it falls under the same license as all the rest. Anyway
no need to argue about this. The origin of the mail icon is the original
Plone [1] style from which DokuWiki borrowed some ideas. Plone is
licensed under the GPL as well so I guess the icon is covered by the GPL
so go ahead and use it.
