You are prohibited from the following uses: - Creating competing templates, UI kits, libraries, frameworks, or similar products using the Item. This is really strange. Who would use icon sets if not GUI libraries? Is it some web-ism that desktop app developers are too old fashioned to understand?

Sorry for the confusion, that License is for mynaui.com which is a set of UI components. MynaUI Icons is MIT Licensed: https://github.com/praveenjuge/mynaui-icons/blob/main/LICENS...

I see, thanks. I am working on a GUI library for 3D content, might use these since they look easily to convert to an SDF for quick scaling.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Do open source licences apply to SVGs? They are technically icon written in code. I may be a bit naive, as it just occurred to me.

Interesting question. I mean, one can claim that .png files are also written in code?..

A png is about as much code as a compiled binary. They aren’t code, they might be the result of some code being compiled, but open source licenses normally define the source as the format most useful for editing, which probably is the input that a png icon is generated from, not the png itself.

Great, let me know if you have any icon requests!

OK sure, bad example. A Photoshop .psd file then.

I may be old school but to me calling your own work beautiful comes across as pompous. Or "beautiful" is somehow a style now which irritates me as well. Sorry. They do look nice though.

I didn't even think like that, I'll rethink about the wording more.

Glad you like it though.

You have to back your own product, and people will notice if you don't.

Consider the alternatives: the most popular icon set is called Font Awesome

Very nice, thank you! I see you have a checked bell icon, which I was missing from my usual go-to https://phosphoricons.com the other day. Definitely want to try these!

Might I suggest giving the icons some more breathing room? Phosphor shows 7 icons per row with a lot more whitespace. Your longer rows (12 icons) seem a bit hard to scan.
