What about license?

  1. All licenses are defined by original fonts authors. FlutterIcon doesn't add any additional requirements. License type is shown on the right from font name.
  2. FlutterIcon includes only those fonts, that do NOT have limits for your applications (non-commercial use, mandatory links, mandatory attribution, and so on). Since we are open source developers, we don't wish to restrict your freedom.

You can just use fonts on your application and be happy, but it's considered a good practice to credit authors in unobtrusive way. There is no need to inform the entire world on your main page with big letters, that your site uses font XXX. Just if someone really interested to know - it's good when he can find such info.

For your convenience, we include license information in the Dart file with attribution in each generated archive. It includes info about all fonts with selected glyphs.

Common places for attribution

Once again. These are NOT mandatory requirements. Just recommendations.

  • Open Source Projects
    • If you place content of FlutterIcon archive somewhere with your source code, that's enough.
  • Other projects
    • Very often, such projects have "About" page with different technical details about used products. Just copy the contents of the licensing info there.
    • Place attribution info in html source with html comments.

Link to FlutterIcon

No, it's not necessary to link to FlutterIcon. A link does not replaces icon's attribution. Of course, we don't prohibit you from linking to FlutterIcon, if you like to promote this project. :)
