Licensing conflict #75

Hi Alessandro! First of all, congrats for your icons! They are amazing!

I've noticed a small, but perhaps significant, conflict in licensing terms: you're using CC-BY-SA 4.0, which allows commercial use, but the repository README explicitly says "the iconset is free to use as long as its use is _not_ conveying any monetary income" (your emphasis).

This conflict could prevent your work to be packaged and accepted in Debian and other distros (or hosted in Ubuntu's Launchpad as a PPA). It could also prevent developers to integrate them in free software licensed with GPL, BSD, MIT or even the same CC-BY-SA license you're using.

To solve the conflict, you could either change the license to the non-commercial Creative Commons BY-NC-SA, to make it compatible with your README disclaimer (but note that is not a free license, so I truly hope you don't do that), _or_ to delete that line from your README to make it compatible with you current license (yes, yes! 👍)
