Wait, are the commercially licensed icon sets also open-source? If not, then the title is too misleading IMO. I don't think it took you 12 years to create the free icons right? It took you 12 years to create all the icons (free and commercial).

We create, refine and improve our icons over time. Some of the open source icons have been improved 4 times over the course of 12 years. Not all sets are open-source.

I'm a bit puzzled. To use the full set commercially, do I need to pay a subscription as long as I'm using them, or only as long as I still need new icons?

Only for new sets, but don't be fooled. If I remember correctly, they have limits on how many icons and illustrations you can download every day. So you actually pay huge amount of money (minimum of $228), for small subset of icons that you managed to download. You can't download entire Streamline set and use it within your library. Streamline is good, I considered to use it, but it's way way more expensive than any…

Thanks! Yes, we have a fair usage policy that most people never hit unless you're abusing the platform.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Those 5 icon sets, Bangalore and Freemoji sets are all licensed under the Creative Commons - CC BY 4.0 which lets you use them as you want. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Other premium icon sets aren't open-source, so using them would require a backlink or a purchase.

Where is the source for the icons and what format is it in?

Would a figma file and a github file help? https://www.figma.com/community/file/1063138616574654762 https://github.com/webalys-hq/streamline-vectors/blob/main/R...

Why is this open-source? Neither is the source of the (free) icons available, nor is the license (CC 4.0) approved by OSI as "open source". Don't get me wrong I am not an evangelist praising the OSI. But not even having the source (figma/sketch files, repository) available definitely abuses the term open source.

Figma, github repositories are available. https://www.figma.com/community/file/1063138616574654762 https://github.com/webalys-hq/streamline-vectors/blob/main/R... We still think they are open-source but totally okay with us having different opinions.

Put links to the source on your website. I searched for multiple minutes and haven't found anything.

I found this annoying and spammy. It took me almost a dozen clicks to find out where to buy the premium license, and there it says "contact us for a quote" instead of saying what the price is. I'll defer to others about whether this type of post (on the other site we used to call it a slashvertisement) is appropriate for HN but I'm personally not keen on it. I think if I wanted this type of product I could find it my…

We didn't fully optimize it for mobile but you should be able to see the pricing here https://streamlinehq.com/pricing or by using the desktop mode on mobile. Just tap on the triple dot menu at the top right of the screen and enter the desktop mode.

Would you be able to give a ballpark figure for the extended licenses? I'd rather not get into a sales funnel before knowing what kind of numbers I should expect. In particular, I'm interested in being able to use the full set of icons rather than being limited to 100/project (and having to track that).

So it is open source but has a dependency on the proprietary Figma tool for editing the source?

Nice design but how do I use your icons? Do I manually have to download every single SVG? You seem to have a collection feature, which requires some mouse acrobatics and a lot of clicks and patience, but even there it's not possible to export multiple icons to an iconfont whatsoever.
