OP, you say "free, open source, and fully attributed", but it's really not fully attributed. I know Google will live, but you need to be more attentive to licensure and credit. Here are some major problems (in no particular order):
LICENSE
file, you call the copyright status of the icons "uncertain". This confuses the hell out of me, because on the icons pack page for Google, it clearly reads at the bottom:Except as otherwise noted, the content of this page is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License, and code samples are licensed under the Apache 2.0 License.
Now you have all your research done for you, and Cunningham's law is proven right again.
