Warning, just visiting that link loads 30 Megabytes! That is insane. Luckily I did not visit with my quota-limited mobile account. "Download" requires an e-mail address. Terms say "By downloading this bundle, you agree to receive an email from us, and to be eventually subscribed to our newsletter." Mailinator works. :) > under this license you may not: (...) allow direct downloads of the materials from any other serv…

It's a lot of stuff, including psd's and Photoshop related items. They're only usefull if you re-save (and slice) for web. I think he just doesn't want anyone else hosting these files. The required email? TenminuteMail does the job just fine. 30 mb's? Could be but i don't know why anyone clicking on a link to 5 gig would care about 30 mb ;-)

That's one of the worst excuses for a bloated page I've ever heard. Luckily bit-torrent site operators don't share that view.

It's no excuse as I didn't build the page. I have no idea why it's 30 mb and it would have been very easy for me to share the file otherwise, but the only thing the creator asked for is a link to his (bloated) site which is only fair.

I hope the creator of the icons is not upset by my forwardness, but I've converted these icons to bootstrap style icons for easy use. Visit https://github.com/chrismarlow9/Batch-Bootstrap-Plugin for the project.

It allows you to add the icons with pure CSS style (using rowXcolumn) class name. The CSS file isn't exactly small but I did this for the purposes of people making friendly names for icons and expanding on the project (I tried myself but I hate coming up with semantics for technical things. Anyways, enjoy. I simply used GIMP to Greyscale the image and invert the color to white. Transparent the image on your own (or maybe I will later)...

Spot on.

@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.

In that case...

Public Domain and CCZero would be a very efficient way to quiet people's fears about what they can't do with this icon set, without alarming them that they need Legal Advice to build their app. You've tried to trim down the restrictions to almost nothing, but we have an established protocol to encompass all uses. Why not go all the way?

I'd like to thank all of you for such an incredible response to Batch. It has far exceeded anything I could have imagined.

While I was asleep, a complete web font was made, a second is in the works, 2 CSS sprite kits were made and someone sent me a Photoshop CSH file.

I am completely blown away.

I'll spend some time checking these additions thoroughly before adding them to the Batch site.

Thank you all, Adam

Thank you very much for this. The website is amazing, UX is perfect and the content (the icons) is top-notch. I will someday re-pay you for this wonderful favor you've done to the community of designers like us, especially considering the fact that it's difficult to find good stuff without having to attribute the creator.

Thanks for the kind words! Attribution is optional, but always appreciated :)

Off topic, but you might want to clarify the licence a bit. It's a bit nitpicky, but you did not specify if we can create derivatives (though your intro message about adding photoshop layer styles strongly implies it), and if can sublicence it, etc. You also might want to add some disclaimers that waive any warranty and liability you might have.

Try http://www.tldrlegal.com/ and pick a licence, if you want to, that might help.
