I...I don't even know how this can be offered for free. This is practically a whole marketplace worth of goods. Simply amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Nice icons indeed, but amazing? How is this more amazing than Linux, apache, node.js, PostgreSQL, Ruby on Rails, python, .... And mane more. All this software is also free... Just take a look at the Debian/red hat/Ubuntu repository, it is practically a whole marketplace worth of free goods...

It does not necessarily have to be more amazing than all the free software you cited to be amazing by itself, but I get your point.

People seem to me more or less used to software given for free (& sometimes even open source) by now, especially on HN. On the other hand, quality graphic work is not yet something this community is used to see free and with such a permissive license.

Anyways, this is still a lot of hard work, given for free, and it is amazing.

@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.

It sounds like you want http://www.tldrlegal.com/license/CC-NC

No, this differs from CC-NC in that you can use them in a commercial work, you just can't sell them on their own. Using CC-NC would prevent users from bundling these into a commercial product whatsoever.

I was happily upvoting adam's new account, and then remembered that this is hacker news: var links = document.getElementsByTagName('a'); for (var i = links.length >>> 0; i--;) {if (links[i].innerHTML==='adamwhitcroft'){var j=i; while (!links[++j].id){}; console.log(links[j], links[j].click())}} If you paste this into WebKit inspector and run it, it will click all of adam's upvote links. Here's a little puzzle - there…

Yes, but I would hope it would not be used. This isn't what the point system is about on HN.

In general, no. But when someone is so generous, and I want to add to their karma, why put myself through the misery of finding and clicking on his upvotes? Like any tool, it should be used responsibly.
