Shame they didn’t use a proper license when publishing.

Nice! And MIT too. Perfect; I’ve given it a star now.

Indeed. They only have in their github page:

Terms of Use

Feel free to use these components in personal and commercial projects. However, while the tutorials and demos are available for your use as-is, they cannot be redistributed or resold. Let’s keep things fair and respect each other’s work.

So basically don’t use this in anything commercial because the phrase “feel free” is different to legally libre and gratis. I personally wouldn’t touch this until it’s released under a reputable license.

I wouldn't assume this is done with malice in mind, but maybe this is someone unaware of the importance of a formal license.

I agree. I don’t have the time but someone should point this out to the dev via an issue on GitHub.

They have a proper license now: https://github.com/pqoqubbw/icons/commit/0ae3fe52047e9c8fa326beb09b446e062019d03e

Kudos to the devs quick turn around.

There is an active issue with reccos. Hopefully it changes.
