Anyone know how different this is from Polymer's icons?

Many of them look similar - guessing Polymer is a large subset of this new repo?

#24FYI, the licence on these is copyleft. I don't think it is legally clear whether an entire app or website would take on the licence, and I would be surprised if Google tried to enforce the licence in that way, but it's worth keeping in mind in case using it for anything particularly critical.

That's a bit disappointing. Adding a spot attributions to the page can sometimes be a nonstarter for a lot of the designers I work with. I really wish more design assets would opt for something more like an MIT license.

No. But the fact that image meta data can be exploited is one reason.
Are you honestly suggesting that Google is including malicious meta data in an icon pack it uploaded to Github?
In light of recent events, I'm not suggesting it's google... but I guess I'm not allowed to suggest anything here, it gets down voted.

The issue isn't that you're not allowed to suggest anything. Far from it; but you're flinging strong accusations over an icon pack without any particular references to back yourself up.

#29I did not see a save icon in this icon set. Could this finally mean the death of the floppy disk?

Lots of people like to include things in a larger work without crediting the sources for their designs. If a given design was under an MIT license, it would still have to be attributed somewhere since the copyright still resides with the original designer/copyright-holder. The license states: "The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in
all copies or substantial portions of the Software." So, it should be in there somewhere. Including when you utilize MIT-licensed images and deliver a greater work including them to a client.
I think you're thinking more of public domain, which has no copyright attached and can be used however you'd like.
