License

Everything below is granted by the licence, not offered as a concession. No sign-up, no invoice, no seat count, and nothing to apply for.

• Use the icons in personal projects, commercial products, client work, and anything in between.
• Ship them in something you charge for: an app, a theme, a template, a design file, a printed thing.
• Modify them. Recolour, restyle, redraw, combine two into one, rename them, fork the whole set.
• Redistribute them, on their own or inside a larger set, as long as the notice below travels with the copy.
• Use them without crediting anyone. Attribution is welcome and is not a condition.

MIT asks for exactly one thing: the copyright notice and the permission text go with any copy of the work, or any substantial part of it.

In practice that means keeping the LICENSE (opens in a new tab) file if you vendor the SVGs into your own repository, or leaving the package's licence in place if you install it from npm, which every package manager does for you. Dropping a handful of icons into a product's interface is the ordinary use of an icon set, and it is what the grant is for.

Worth saying plainly, because MIT was written about software and an icon set is mostly artwork. The licence here covers both: all 585 drawings, the React components, the build pipeline and this site are one work under one grant. There is no separate asset licence, no free tier and no paid tier.

The same drawings are published in several places, and the licence does not change between them: the repository (opens in a new tab), the npm packages, the Figma Community file (opens in a new tab) and the paper.design file (opens in a new tab) all carry the same set on the same terms. Each of those platforms has its own terms of use for the platform itself, which are theirs and not ours.

The name and the mark. MIT grants rights in a work; it grants nothing in what the work is called, which is why the footer's notice carries a ™ next to a licence that gives everything else away.

• Say your product uses Keyline Icons. That is accurate and nobody needs permission for it.
• Do not name a fork, a redraw or a competing set Keyline Icons, or anything close enough to be mistaken for it.
• Do not use the wordmark or the logo in a way that suggests we made, reviewed or endorsed your product.

The licence wins. Nothing on this page is a further condition, and nothing here narrows what MIT grants. If a sentence above reads like a restriction the text does not impose, that sentence is badly written: tell us (opens in a new tab) and it will be fixed.

This is a plain-language reading by the people who publish the set, not legal advice. If the answer matters to your business, ask someone who gives it professionally.

The file this repository ships, printed here word for word rather than summarised, and also readable as the canonical text (opens in a new tab).
