Nope. Just nope. Remind me on Tuesday when I'm back home and I'll explain more

There's a license incompatibility. MaterialOS is CC BY 4.0, while Paper is CC BY-SA (version isn't specified, so we're free to use any version :relaxed: ). CC BY-SA content can't be automatically converted to CC BY (though it's possible the other way around). So, unless Paper's creator Sam Hewitt contributes the icons himself or agrees to re-license his icons for MaterialOS, this can't be done.

Or we could sublicense the Paper icons with the same license that it's currently under.

Sublicense just for paper? :confused: U mean like those projects which combine works of different licenses, but mention each of 'em in a copyright or CREDITs file?

danielhickman commented 8 years ago

Yeah something like that if we are going to use Paper. It's our only option really.

HEXcube commented 8 years ago

Wonder why @crutchcorn says nope though! :confused:

Back - sorry about that. While Mr.Hewitt has done an amazing job with Paper, I simply disagree with some of the icons' designs (not that I could do better). Not only that, but I would to not do this to limit what icons we are taking in (for a few reasons): I don't want to take from sources other than what is contributed to us - that way we avoid issues and dependencies with other authors and things can look more consistent because they were designed FOR MOS.
