[GRASS-user] north arrow symbols for map composer

Hi,

I would like to add the possibility to display north arrow in Map
Composer and I'm looking for some nice north arrow symbols. So far I
found these sources [1], [2], but I'm not sure if I can use it and
under what conditions. Or does anyone know about some other source?

Thanks,
Anna

(in case anyone didn't already know about them,
see some of the existing ones here:

QGIS and GRASS share the same license so it is fine
(and encouraged!) to copy things back and forth.

Thanks, I think I will use some of the symbols from QGIS (not the fancy ones).
