Gentlemen,

I just asked about this, and was referred to:

http://developer.apple.com/ue/aqua/icons.html

where we say the:

"Borrowing System Icons
Apple has invested heavily in icon design: Mac users recognize that certain
desktop icons represent certain Mac OS X system applications or functions.
As a result, borrowing or reusing system icons is not allowed. It would be
confusing to users, for instance, if the Universal Access icon from System
Preferences were used in another application to mean "add new person".

The exception to the above rule is if a standard interface element that you
use includes a system icon, don't replace it with a custom one."

Hope this helps,
