Hi,
I didn’t check the licensing … but eventually it could still be cool to keep an
eye on them and eventually help make the open-source version support FlexJS.
This way people that want to use FontAwesome 5 (free or pro) with FlexJS could
start right away.

From the looks of it, FontAwesome 5 looks like a completely new project
with the same name/versioning system.
I say we stick with FontAwesome 4.7 and hence the current Apache friendly
licences.
FlexJS users can buy fontawesome 5 and easily build their own library out
of it.
Thanks,
Om
