I just wonder how licensing for the pro version works in regards to open source projects? If I buy the license, can I use it for my open source project?

Also the option to commission your own icon is really exciting! :-)

I'd say just don't put the commercial version in a public code repo where other folks could easily use it. But if you avoid that, open souce projects would definitely qualify for our $20 non-profit license.

And Font Awesome 5 Free will be pretty awesome too. Your pick.

"if you avoid" - you mean if I just include specific icons from the Pro version?

Well, the real problem is that every resource is available for folks to use, even those that aren't intended (typefaces have the same problem).

Ping me offline. We'll get you something for the open source project you're happy with where you can use Pro.

Super! Thanks.
