These attribution requirements on a per icon basis are a bit much...

Luckily they have a very good guide on how to attribute[1]. If you are using them on a site or in an App you can simply put the attributions in your about page.

Thanks for the heads up.

The requirements listed on that page are still kind of silly, though, especially for a commercial project, where it requires you to list the attribution right near the use of it. For example: "If your product is listed online, you must include the proper attribution on the same page next to the item you are selling. "

That kind of requirement is just begging to be ignored completely.

Many of the icons are in the public domain which alleviates this problem to some degree.

Unfortunately there's no easy way to filter by license type; it'd sure be helpful.

Agreed here; it's one of the things that continues to make Flickr so useful.
