Transmission is default torrent application Ubuntu. And by puting it
under the transmission icon name it will only be used for the
transmission application (not any other torrent application and not
for mime/torrent)


As for icon itself you need to contact upstream or who-ever design the
icon for Mac. Although you have recreated the icon from scratch it is
still derived work and if it goes into the icon theme it needs to be
license under compatible license. Currently Breathe is under
CC-BY-SA-3 while Majoirity of Transmission is MIT, portions are under
GPL and LGPL. The later two are not compatible with CC-BY-SA-3

I love the icon but welcome to the license profiliation world ;-)

Best option IMHO is to try to submit this icon upstream. Or ask them
if they have SVG already / or ask permission to license your icon
under CC-BY-SA-3.
