Hi!

On linea.io, it says the iconset is licensed as CCBY, or Creative Commons Attribution. In this repo, it says it's CC0, which is essentially public domain — which is worlds apart in terms of intent.

Having a license more permissive than CCBY means that it's easier for projects to use your work, and allows them to be more easily distributed with open source projects (I use MIT in all of mine, but that's really permissive and depending on your ultimate goals for the project, might be suboptimal.). I've found this site really helpful.
