I really dont want to violate anyone's license so trying to be clean as
much as i can.
One of my premium component is Icomoon's Ultimate Pack<http://icomoon.io/#icons>
It has a Developer Friendly License <http://icomoon.io/#icons/license>. It
looks ok for me to include it in commerical GPL theme right?
