David Göthberg has tagged this image with {{No license}} with the following argument:

This image is a derivative work of File:Portal icon.svg / File:Portal.svg . Its obvious from looking at it, and the uploader states so himself at w:Template talk:Portal#Remove link from image, for accessibility. Problem is that File:Portal.svg uses the GFDL license (and some other similar licenses), so this image should also have such a license. Thus this image may not be released as public domain. And this image fails to attribute User:Pepetps who made File:Portal.svg.

Eubulides (the author) objects that

This image was created as a replacement for File:Portal icon.svg. However, it is not a derivative work, as it was created entirely from scratch. The only elements that it shares with File:Portal icon.svg (horizontal blue puzzle piece with keyhole) are so simple that they are not protectible by copyright. Whatever minor creative features that are copyrightable in File:Portal icon.svg are done quite differently in this version.

(See the file talk page for details.)

I would say  keep; indeed there is no element from the original image, only the concept is the same and concepts are not copyrightable. –Tryphon 08:52, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Keep clearly not a derivative work. Inspired at best. Why even waste energy on fighting this when the intentions seem to be good (accessibility impreovement, new contribution with more liberal licensing)? --Dschwen (talk) 16:50, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep No matter what, there is a valid license; PD-self means we can distribute it under the GFDL. The argument over whether we should or need to is not one to be resolved by deletion.--Prosfilaes (talk) 14:33, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
