Samuel Newman 4cacec1942 add asset licensing notices
Adds ASSETS.md, NOTICE.md, per-directory READMEs, third-party license
texts, a CI check that notices don't rot, and README forking-guideline
updates. Carves commissioned artwork, the licensed icon system, and
Bluesky marks out of the blanket MIT license. See LEGMS-208.

The user-interface glyphs in this directory are from the Central icon system 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.

These icons are not covered by the MIT license that applies to the rest of this repository. If you want to use them, buy a license from iconists.co. There are also good openly licensed icon sets if you would rather not.

This notice covers the SVG files at the top level of this directory. It does not cover:

  • flags/ — country-flag-icons, MIT licensed, see flags/README.md
  • community/ — third-party service marks, see community/README.md
  • logomark.svg, newskie.svg, verifiedCheck.svg, verifierCheck.svg, starterPack.svg, starter_pack_icon.svg — Bluesky trademarks and brand assets
  • custom_logo_japan.svg — artwork by a Bluesky Japan logo contest entrant
  • apple_logo.svg, android_logo.svg — Apple and Google trademarks

Each of those is described in ASSETS.md.

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.
