Karel, Distribution is a usage that is restricted. The restriction is that the distribution be performed without fee. To meet the intent of the version 0.1 license the distribution would have to be released using a license with the same restriction.
You are correct that this should be stated clearly in the license. I will be making updates within the next few weeks and will update the license wording. Here is a draft of the new wording --- Permission is granted to distribute these symbols verbatim, individually or in a collection, provided that (1) no fee is charged and (2) the individual symbol or symbol collection is licensed under terms identical to this one. Permission is granted to make and distribute modified versions of these symbols individually or in a collection under the conditions for verbatim distribution, provided that the entire resulting distribution is released with license terms identical to this one.
