| What's the license?

| The license can be found here: svgbackgrounds.com/license

| Summary: You can use graphics in personal or commercial
| projects, you cannot use the graphics as the primary integrity
| of your product, you must provide attribution
| (svgbackgrounds.com/attribution)
|
| And before anyone rips off my head, attribution can be placed
| inside commented out code, so it doesn't need to take away from
| your design.

| You have access. Enjoy!
