License question #15218

Open morosanuae opened 5 years ago

morosanuae commented 5 years ago

Hello,

I want to create a publicly available plugin for TiddlyWiki (https://tiddlywiki.com) that will include the free SVGs from FA5 but I don't have much experiences with software licenses. I want to download and convert the free SVGs from FA5 into TiddlyWiki JSON format and then package them as a plugin under the title "FontAwesome 5 Free SVGs" or something like that. Does the current license allow me to do that? And if so, how should I properly credit the author?

Thanks in advance.

The free SVG are CC BY 4.0

Which means you can copy and redistribute in any medium or format and adapt them. You just have to give name copyright notice licence notice and link.

@sectokia Thanks for the reply. I've put the link to the original license on my site. You can check it out: http://fa5-free-svg.tiddlyspot.com. If you think I've missed something please let me know.

FWIW, when you download the SVG of a free Icon, e.g. circle-question, the file links to the pro license:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 512 512"><!--! Font Awesome Pro 6.2.0 by @fontawesome - https://fontawesome.com License - https://fontawesome.com/license (Commercial License) Copyright 2022 Fonticons, Inc. -->
...

That's a little confusing.
