The Brief

What Iconify does

Iconify is an open source project, operated by Iconify OÜ, that provides access to open source icon sets through one framework. Its documentation covers icons and icon sets, usage instructions, libraries for developers, and the Iconify API. Icons can be browsed at a separate site, icon-sets.iconify.design. The page appears aimed at developers who want to use icons in their projects. Most of the project uses the MIT license, while some older packages use Apache 2.0 or GPL 2.0, and each icon set is licensed separately. The page states no pricing model, but it offers a sponsorship page and a support page.
