How can I use icons under a CC-ND license?

How can I use icons under a CC-ND license?

I am developing an open-source Java desktop application and I would like
to use some icons in the GUI to indicate various settings, external links,
etc. I found a set of free icons that are published under the Creative
Commons Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported license that I would like to
use.
My questions are:
Would including such an icon in my application constitute an adaptation or
derivative work, and as such be a violation of the license?
The icons are a little too big for my use case. Am I allowed to include
scaled-down versions in my application? And would there be a difference
between scaling them in photoshop and including these modified images
versus including the original images and scaling them down
programmatically?
I would like to release my program under the Apache License 2.0. Does this
have an effect on whether I can include the icons or not? Would I need to
take any extra steps, other than including the original copyright and
license information for the icons in my NOTICE file?
