I think the general consensus is that GPL is not compatible if you embed it but LGPL and certain CC formats are. To be safe, put the icons file tree exactly like it is with attribution/licensing info into your resource tree and load it dynamically at run time. You may want to check out these links though there is surprisingly scant info about it. Not sure if licensing is affected by distributing the icon in an installer or not.
