Hi Richard and everyone else,

Looking at the Dev tools inerface, I must conclude it is the latter:  
use of the images, but without a right to copy them physicall to other  
development environments. When I create a simple project with the  
standalone magnifying glass picture from the Media library and save or  
build that project, I don't see the picture included. It might be  
there, but it is not readily available.

I haven't seen any explicit statement, saying that copying to a  
different development environment is allowed. It is very easy to  
reproduce these pictures in your own icon editor, though. I can hardly  
imagine that Apple sees a problem in that.
