#42They're beautiful, but I'd much rather use them as an icon font. Is there any way to do that?

Re: Feather: Open-source icons
#43All these icon collections are great, but I always find missing stuff there, and I don't know how this can be fixed besides complaining (and I don't want to complain when they give it for free). For example, this one looks really nice, but it only has 'battery' and 'battery-charging'. In an app I work on, I need battery with no charge, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, and charging. Then I think that this would be small to add, b…

And then contribute the new icons back.

I don't think there's a simple yes/no answer to that. It fits somewhere between trademark and copyright legally, and probably depends on the degree of similarity.

#46To pull criddell's important question to root-level: How can the trademarked logos (Facebook, Instagram, Github, etc.) be provided without licensing terms?

#48What does the MIT license mean in this context? Let's say you use the icons, where should the notice be put?

#49Is this strange anti-aliasing normal? Is the octagon with an exclamation point in it supposed to look like that? https://img42.com/YAV3Y
Pixel-perfect is hard to do in SVG (at least in my experience). You have to be careful to align path geometry to half-pixel values so that whole-number stroke widths end up falling on a pixel boundary. And once you start scaling the SVG to fit a particular view box, that careful placement usually gets trashed.

#50Earlier quoted context omitted.
Which licensing terms? That has nothing to do with each other. This icon set is foss, that means the sources are free and you can use the icons as you wish, as long as not otherwise encumbered. For the brand icons the source code is free, but if you use them in a way that conflicts with the trademark holder rights they can sue (depending on your jurisdiction). That's why patents are such a big danger to FOSS software…
So, there are licensing terms, they just aren't additional ones from Feather?
