If you are going to use them somewhere in your online product/project, kindly check the License agreement first.



Also check the DISCLAIMER, which seems to be overriding the License:

- Disclaimer: https://github.com/simple-icons/simple-icons/blob/master/DIS...

- License (CC0): https://github.com/simple-icons/simple-icons/blob/master/LIC...


Or just draw googly eyes on top and its a parody and totally legal art..

You can also have a NN turn it into a prompt and then recreate the SVG from prompt - shove it through the laundryAImat - nothing is sacred, the world they wanted they have now, let them suffer speared on there own swords.

https://svg.io/


The disclaimer is about including your icon(s) in simple-icons project, whereas the license is about how to use this project.


That's what the intro would have you believe, but if you read past it you find these bombs:

> "Simple Icons is released under CC0 - though that doesn't mean to imply that all icons within the project are also CC0. Please see individual licenses where available."

> "the absence of licence data for a particular icon does not imply that the icon is not released under a license."


Majority of the icons uploaded on simple-icons are registered trademarks and IP as well. If you read carefully what you have highlighted, this is what exactly simple-icons is trying to say.
