svg-based icons

[cgfoed]

I replaced the WiFi-icons with this icons from Alexander Kahlkopf, as I find an vector based images much more pleasing :)

Love it! Although embedding this into a MIT licensed code might an issue because of this clause:

"Licensee may not sell, redistribute, sublicense, share or otherwise transfer the Work to other people or entities."

I'll contact the author and see what he has to say.

Hello Alexander,

I maintain an embedded application which is open-sourced under MIT.

See: https://github.com/tonyp7/esp32-wifi-manager

One user suggested using your icons: https://github.com/tonyp7/esp32-wifi-manager/issues/58

And I agree they are awesome. However, since you are using a proprietary mostly copy-left license for your work, I am unsure whether or not this works.

The clause: Licensee may not sell, redistribute, sublicense, share or otherwise transfer the Work to other people or entities.

Seems to mean I cannot embed your icons into my app since that would effectively mean sub licensing and sharing the work to other people.

Would you be so kind as to license your work; at least for the images listed under the issue with something without any ambiguity such as CC-BY or MIT?

Thanks, Tony

I never had an answer from Alexander regarding the usage of these icons so I am therefore closing this issue.

It's unfortunate, because they are really nice, but I can't risk compromising the license of this software.
