<br></div>Since those social icons are downloaded directly from their official sites, do I really have to mention the license? Or just a note about that will be suffice?<br>

The links to the source information are good, and should be retained. But the license terms for any and all bundled resources need to be included in the Theme itself, so that end users and downstream developers don't have to go searching for license information.</div>
