How do I know for sure they are free in the sense that I can use them in a book cover, broadcast television, print magazines? My advice is, always modify the icons a little yourself.
- distances 4y agoThat's not enough! You can't circumvent license requirements by modifying an icon, the same way you can't ignore codebase licenses by modifying the code. The codebase example is worryingly common though, I have had countless colleagues try and modify a piece of code they found and include it in their PRs without adhering to the license.
- sourcecodeplz 4y agoAs long as there are no patents or trademarks, I don't think you can argue much for copyright of a similarly looking icon say of a football. It's an icon, not a logo. Logos would be trademarked. But I am not a lawyer. >> It is important to note that if the icon is a standard symbol or image that is commonly used in a particular industry or field, it may be difficult to claim copyright protection. Additionally, if the icon is a functional element, such as an icon that is necessary for the operation of a software program, it may not be eligible for copyright protection.
- crazyperson1 4y agosome of the icons on this app literally have TM in the corner lol. The creator of this app is straight up just stealing icons on the web.
- sowbug 4y agoTrademark and copyright are very different things.
- distances 4y agoI don't think your reasoning is safe at all. I'm obviously also not a lawyer, but when doing commercial work it's better to assume everything is copyrighted unless explicitly otherwise mentioned.
- password4321 4y agoHave to ask Stable Diffusion to circumvent license requirements on your behalf, right? That's what all the coding AI are supposedly for.
