The user-interface glyphs in this directory are from the
[Central icon system](https://iconists.co/central) by Iconists (David & Storm GbR). Bluesky
Social PBC licenses them for use in our own products. **That license is for our own use, and it
does not extend to you.**
**Rights holder: Iconists (David & Storm GbR).**
**These icons are not covered by the [MIT license](../../LICENSE) that applies to the rest of
this repository.** If you want to use them, buy a license from
[iconists.co](https://iconists.co). There are also good openly licensed icon sets if you would
rather not.

**These icons are not covered by the [MIT license](../../LICENSE) that applies to the rest of this repository.** The fact that we have our own license does not mean that you cannot use these icons. It means that any right you have to use them has to come from Iconists, not us. Licenses are available from [iconists.co](https://iconists.co), and there are openly licensed alternatives if you prefer that.

Adding an icon here? If it came from Central, this notice already covers it. If it came from
anywhere else, add it to `ASSETS.md` so the notice does not go stale.
