<div>Hi Régis,</div>
<div>The SVGs are only 853kB compressed (1.15MB uncompressed (6.30MB
on disk)), so size shouldn't be a problem.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
License: Honestly I stopped worrying about licenses year ago; I've
already wasted enough of my life dealing with licensing. :-) The
Pro version includes several thousand extra icons and isn't GPL
friendly, so I'm just proposing using the free ones. The license
for the free ones is as linked
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/blob/master/LICENSE.txt">https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/blob/master/LICENSE.txt</a>)
- I just take it at its word that it's "GPL friendly". But this is
the pertinent line: "In the Font Awesome Free download, the CC BY
4.0 license applies to all icons packaged as SVG"<br>

<div dir="auto">Hi Jonathan,
<div dir="auto">I see paying plans and a free plan for private
or non profit uses. Given that QGIS is used for any kind of
work, I don't think embeding their SVG is covered by the
available plans. That would break their economic model
wouldn't it? </div>
<div dir="auto">Maybe you can contact them to see if this is
possible?</div>

</div>
<div dir="auto">Another issue to be taken into account is that
the package size for Windows has already reached the limits of
the NSIS installer because of the proj-data grids. That means
we need to provide a different way to install those additional
resources. Resource sharing plugin does it nicely I think but
is not enough advertised. Let's spread the word about it!</div>

<br>
Following from the discussion about ESRI Fonts on the OSGeo
list, I got <br>
to wondering... could QGIS include the Font Awesome symbols -
<br>
<a href="https://fontawesome.com/icons" rel="noreferrer
noreferrer" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://fontawesome.com/icons</a>
?<br>
<br>
It's not actually a font but a huge set of SVG's - 1,150 in
fact <br>
(excludes the "brand" icons, which QGIS wouldn't want), most
of which <br>
are pertinent to mapping.<br>
<br>
The License is "GPL friendly" - <br>
