You also have a little typo in README, under License: "Attribution IN much appreciated", instead of IS

Thanks a lot, next this will fix this one too!

Great work, and I will probably be using your icons on my app. Is there a Paypal 'donate' button (that I cannot find)?

I cannot understand how the authors think this is valid.

The author actually picked the Apache license but changed it to MIT a year ago[1].

I imagine the author is trying to do open source well by using a license but doesn't fully understand the impact it has on the project. That's fair enough, and very common when people are new to open source.
