These icons are not covered by ArchiToon's MIT license. Each one remains the property of its owner and is provided under that owner's terms. The Kubernetes icons are dual-licensed Apache-2.0 OR CC-BY-4.0 at the licensee's choice; we distribute under the CC-BY-4.0 branch, which requires attribution wherever they are distributed.
Simple Icons artwork is licensed per icon, not per pack. The
project is released under CC0, but its own disclaimer is explicit that this
"doesn't mean to imply that all icons within the project are also CC0" — some
marks carry the brand owner's own terms. Each icon's real licence is in its
license field. Icons whose upstream terms we are not willing to
redistribute — copyleft, non-commercial, or unnamed — are not served.
An icon's id prefix is a naming convention, not a provenance claim. Read the
source and license fields in
index.json, not the filename.
This CDN previously served files from the gilbarbara/logos collection
and described its aws-* entries as "CC0 redraws" of Amazon's artwork.
That description was false, and it was ours: inspecting the artwork showed those
files reproduced Amazon's own Architecture Icons — official layout, category
gradients and service titles — and the collection generally gathers vendors' own
logo files under a CC0 label the collector had no standing to grant. The entire
collection has been removed; gilbarbara-* and aws-* paths
return 404. Every set still served here is one whose licensor drew the artwork it
licenses.
We don't host Amazon's official AWS architecture icons. The
aws-* paths that pointed at Amazon's artwork return 404.
Why: like Microsoft, Amazon does give permission — but it's permission for a purpose. AWS allows customers and partners to use the icon toolkits to create architecture diagrams and related material, and reserves every other right. An open CDN can't honour that. It hands any icon to anyone who asks, for any purpose, with no way to tell one use from another. So we stopped serving them. This is the same reasoning we applied to Azure.
Get them from Amazon directly: aws.amazon.com/architecture/icons. Getting them there means you hold the permission first-hand, on Amazon's terms.
Amazon's Trademark Guidelines still apply to your copy: don't alter the artwork in any manner, including changing its proportion, colour or font, and don't display an AWS mark in a way that implies AWS sponsorship or endorsement.
We don't host Google Cloud icons. gcp-* paths return 404.
Why: to pass artwork on to you, we need permission from whoever owns it. Google's icon page gives no permission of any kind — no licence, no terms, nothing saying what you may or may not do. Older guidance that once allowed free use is gone, and Google's current brand policy asks people to request permission. Rather than serve the icons and hope, we removed them.
Get them from Google directly: cloud.google.com/icons. Downloading them yourself means you're getting the artwork on whatever terms Google sets, from Google — not on an assumption we made for you.
We don't host Microsoft's Azure icons. azure-* paths return 404.
Why: unlike Google, Microsoft does give clear permission — but it's permission for a purpose. Their terms let you copy and display the icons "only for the permitted use": architecture diagrams, training material and documentation, with every other right reserved. An open CDN can't honour that. It hands any icon to anyone who asks, for any purpose, with no way to tell one use from another. Microsoft also puts their own download behind a terms checkbox, which we were routing people straight past. So we stopped serving them.
Get them from Microsoft directly: learn.microsoft.com/azure/architecture/icons. The download sits behind that terms checkbox — read what you're agreeing to; it's short. Getting them there means you hold the permission first-hand.
Their rules still apply to your copy: don't crop, flip, rotate, recolour or otherwise reshape the icons, and don't use a Microsoft product icon to stand for your own product.
One caveat on all three sections above: dropping the vendor sets didn't drop every icon
that depicts their products. Devicon's own drawings remain —
devicon-amazonwebservices, devicon-azure,
devicon-googlecloud and similar — under Devicon's MIT licence. That
licence covers the drawing, not the trademark.

Rights holders: if you believe an icon is used improperly, contact us
(removal requests) and we will remove or
correct it promptly at the origin. Icons are served with a one-year
immutable cache, so copies already cached or downloaded elsewhere may
persist after removal — see /LICENSES.md for what a takedown can and cannot reach.
