Is anyone else surprised that in the age of "retina" displays, these only go up to 64px?

Thanks for the contribution. It would be great to have all flags, especially the small ones, in ONE file to avoid x requests on sites with many flags. Here is one idea: offer a service for people who need multiple country flags on their site to generate the one big flag picture set they need for their specific set of flags - one big country-selector that spits out a big flags.png after submit would be a great promo!…

Thanks! We'll be adding it to github in the next few days with this feature :)

Under what license are they released? There is no licensing information on the page, or on the parent "freebies" page, or in the zip file itself.

I think it would be awesome if all these flag icons are hosted on a CDN and we can all link to it.

One of the tags says "vector" so they may be able to produce higher resolution files. That said, I think the @2x should be in there if people want to use these for mobile.
