> Yes, if the icons can be downloaded for free, we do not need a licence. Theoretically, it's not because it is free / open source, that it might not be required to include the license if you copy some files (eg when we vendor another library in Arrow, we also include its license). Now, checking the github repo, it has https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome#license, which indicates the svg files are CC BY, which requires attribution, but there is also this paragraph: > Downloaded Font Awesome Free files already contain embedded comments with sufficient attribution, so you shouldn't need to do anything additional when using these files normally. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
