(Optional) attribution info missing for icons

[andybalaam]

The Element clients include icons from https://fonts.google.com/icons .

These are released under Apache 2, details here: https://developers.google.com/fonts/docs/material_icons

That page states:

We'd love attribution in your app's about screen, but it's not required.

The Element Web Help & About page does not give attribution.

It would be polite to give attribution.

Thanks, @andybalaam

What would we need to do in order to introduce this?

[andybalaam]

We'd need to modify the text of the Element Help & About pages to include a sentence about these icons.

That would require changes in the element-web, element-ios and element-android projects, and it would need someone to write the text. But writing the text could be very easy since it will be almost identical to acknowledgements that we already include.

here on web ("credits"):

I can't find the same place on iOS and I dont have android...

[andybalaam]

On Android, under "Legals" we have "Third Party Notices" and "Other third party notices", so this would go under one of those. I'm not sure how we decide which.
