KOSA Icons Free Licence v1.0

1. Scope and Grant of Licence

This licence applies exclusively to the version of the KOSA Icons library that is expressly designated as "Free" (the "Icons") and provided by KOSA Design / Katarina Ilic (the "Licensor"). It does not apply to any Pro or other separately licensed icon sets.

Subject to the terms of this licence, you are granted a free, non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide licence to use the Icons for personal and commercial projects, including but not limited to:

• Websites
• Web and mobile applications
• Software products
• Client deliverables and marketing materials
• Website, application, and theme templates in which the Icons are embedded (see Section 3.4)
• Internal company design systems and projects (meaning design systems used within your own organization and not made available to the public)

2. Attribution

Attribution (crediting KOSA Icons or Katarina Ilic) is appreciated but not required.

3. Restrictions and Redistribution

Except as expressly permitted in this licence, you may not:

• Sell or commercially exploit the Icons as standalone assets, icon collections, or substantially equivalent reusable icon products, whether individually or bundled with other assets.
• Redistribute the Icons as standalone assets, source files, or free or paid icon collections.
• Include the Icons in third-party icon packs, or in publicly available or resold UI kits, design system templates, or asset libraries, where the Icons are offered or distributed as reusable assets.
• Use the Icons to create, train, or distribute competing icon libraries, vector packs, or icon products.
• Sub-licence, share, or make the raw Icon files (for example SVG, PNG, or Figma source files) available for download by third parties.

3.1 Software and Web Bundles; Technical Accessibility

You may incorporate and distribute the Icons as part of websites, applications, software products, and finished client deliverables, provided the Icons are not separately offered, marketed, or distributed as standalone assets or reusable icon collections. Technical accessibility of the Icons within a finished product (such as via browser DevTools, HTML inspection, or JavaScript bundles) does not constitute prohibited redistribution.

3.2 Public Repositories, Open-Source Projects, and Packages

You may copy individual Icon files into your own private repositories and projects, and store, modify, and version them there as part of your normal development process. Raw Icon files may not be published in public repositories as standalone reusable assets or icon collections. However, Icon files that are generated by, or included as necessary components of, a finished application or website may be distributed with that project, including in a public repository, provided they are not separately offered or organized as a reusable icon library.

Using the Icons through packages published by the Licensor (for example, npm packages), and committing dependency manifests or lockfiles (such as `package.json`, `package-lock.json`, or `yarn.lock`) that reference such packages, does not violate this licence. Anyone who copies, forks, or otherwise reuses your public project and its Icons must comply with this licence.

3.3 Client Work

Clients receiving finished deliverables may continue using the incorporated Icons as part of those deliverables, subject to this licence. This does not grant clients a standalone licence to the Icons, nor the right to extract them for separate redistribution, to use them outside those deliverables, or to separately license them. A client who wants to use the Icons in other projects must obtain the Icons directly from the Licensor.

3.4 Templates and Themes

You may sell or distribute website, application, and theme templates (for example, templates for Webflow, Framer, WordPress, or similar platforms, or application starter kits) that include the Icons, provided the Icons are not separately offered, marketed, or distributed as standalone assets or reusable icon collections.

Whether a buyer is technically able to copy an Icon out of a template is not decisive. What matters is whether the seller offers or distributes the Icons as a separate product. Buyers may use, copy, and adapt the Icons within the template and projects built from it, but do not receive any right to extract the Icons for separate redistribution, to use them outside those projects, or to separately license them.

Templates, UI kits, or design system files whose main purpose or value is delivering the Icons themselves are not permitted under this licence.

4. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

You may not use the Icons for:

• Training, fine-tuning, or improving artificial intelligence or machine learning models.
• Inclusion in datasets for AI, machine learning, or generative systems, including datasets used to evaluate or benchmark such systems.
• Use in automated icon generation systems, design models, or any system intended to replicate, imitate, or derive icon styles or icon libraries.

Clarification: Incidental processing of the Icons by AI-assisted coding or design tools (for example, coding assistants, IDEs, or AI assistants that read your code or screenshots) is permitted solely for the purpose of developing, maintaining, or reviewing a project that incorporates the Icons. This permission does not extend to using the Icons for model training, dataset creation, benchmarking, or automated generation of competing icon assets.

5. Ownership and Future Releases

The Licensor retains all intellectual property rights it owns in the Icons. This licence does not transfer ownership of the Icons. Future icon styles, variations, or extended sets may be released under separate commercial licences (Pro Tier) at the discretion of the Licensor.

This licence grants no rights to the names "KOSA", "KOSA Icons", or "KOSA Design", or to any related logos or trademarks, other than the right to make truthful references to the source of the Icons.

6. Modifications

You may modify the Icons only for use within your own projects. Modified Icons are derivative of the original Icons: they remain subject to this licence, the Licensor's ownership of the underlying Icons is unaffected, and modification does not create any right to redistribute, sell, or share the modified Icons as standalone assets.

7. Termination

If you violate this licence, your rights will terminate automatically. However, if the violation was not deliberate, your rights will be reinstated if you stop the violation and remedy it within 30 days of the earlier of (a) written notice from the Licensor, or (b) the date you became aware of the violation. Deliberate or repeated violations are not eligible for automatic reinstatement. Any reinstatement following such violations requires the Licensor's express written consent.

If the violation is not remedied within that period, or if reinstatement does not apply, you must stop using and distributing the Icons, and delete all copies of the Icons in your possession, including raw Icon files and any standalone distributions. Termination does not require you to recall finished products or deliverables that were lawfully distributed to end users and clients before the termination date, but you may not distribute new versions or copies of them that contain the Icons. This exception does not apply to any person who has themselves violated this licence.

8. Reservation of Rights and Remedies

The Licensor reserves the right to pursue all legal remedies available under applicable law, including injunctive relief, removal of infringing content, and claims for damages arising from unauthorized use, reproduction, redistribution, or sale of the Icons. The 30-day cure period in Section 7 does not limit the Licensor's right to seek immediate relief against ongoing or deliberate infringement.

9. Changes to Licence; Versions

The Licensor may publish new versions of this licence. The version applicable to your Icons is the one stated with the download or on the Licensor's website at the time you obtained them, and earlier versions will remain publicly available. Changes to this licence will not retroactively restrict rights validly granted under an earlier version for Icons obtained under that version.

10. No Warranty and Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Icons are provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Licensor (KOSA Design / Katarina Ilic) be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use the Icons.

11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This licence shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Serbia, without regard to its conflict of law principles. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the competent courts in Belgrade, Republic of Serbia, shall have jurisdiction over disputes arising from this licence. Nothing in this licence limits any mandatory consumer-protection or other rights that cannot be excluded under the law applicable to you.

12. General Provisions

• Severability. If any provision of this licence is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by law.
• No waiver. Failure by the Licensor to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision or of any other right.
• Entire agreement. This licence is the entire agreement between you and the Licensor regarding the free version of the Icons and supersedes any prior understanding on the same subject.
