Bookmarked.

As a developer with 0 design skills stuff like this makes me feel like I can fully complete my work.

I personally appreciate the fact that you did this out of love for your craft and respect for the industry. There are too few of you in this industry my friend.

Thank you

Thanks!

Not to be picky about the punctuation or anything, but I would have thought a comma would be good here:

"Each icon is a single Photoshop shape layer, meaning ..."

Alternatively, replace "meaning" with "so"?

Thanks again!

Very generous. I especially like the mit-ish license. I have this theory that permissive licensing will produce more goodwill and credibility. Hope I'm right!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think that means you can use them in commercial applications, but you aren't allowed to sell the icons themselves.

Spot on.

The license terms mean that the icon set cannot be used in open source projects intended for redistribution. Your call, of course, just pointing it out.

@davidw - that is meant to refer to not selling or redistributing the icon pack as a whole - you are more than welcome to use it in any open source redistributed work.
