       | Each one can be copied as inline SVG or CSS using the background-
       | image property with a data URI. Most are under 1KB.

         | 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.

       | The notice about having "access" to the backgrounds is sticky,
       | and takes up one third of the screen on mobile with no way to
       | remove it . . . Why?

         | You have access. Enjoy!

         | Edit: upon further investigation, access isn't something that's
         | just thrown around willy nilly! It usually goes for $120/yr!
