| Fontawesome doesn't require the attribution per use or

| Now, if you're using a giant icon as the focal piece of
| the art on your page, then the layout does absolutely
| allow for immediate attribution of the graphic just like
| photos.

| every single use of an icon. This led me to jokingly
| reiterating the original question I responded to with a
| request for reasonable examples. Then you came at me like
| I'm asking for free use without credit whatsoever. When
| in fact, I actually provided an example of something I
| think of a reasonable license. Not once, ever, have I
| suggested use for free and fuck a license. You want this
| argument so bad, you injected that into the conversation.

| Don't get me wrong, these things are useful if you wanna get up
