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.
Someone did in the mean time: https://github.com/pqoqubbw/icons/issues/4
Its been merged, the project has an MIT license now
