[theme-reviewers] GPL-compatible social media icon sets

[Chip Bennett]

Here is the exact wording of the license, from that link:

License Info

Free to use for whatever purposes. If you use these icons, an optional link
tohttp://icondock.com would be appreciated. Thank you.


This doesn't *explicitly *state the the work is released under a
GPL-compatible license terms, but "whatever purposes" does implicitly
include use, modification, and redistribution.

I would be in favor of considering these as "GPL-compatible".
