Consider using SIL Open Font License instead of CC BY-NC #7

Have you considered using the SIL Open Font License, the same license Google and Adobe use for their free fonts? I'd like to integrate this font into CiviCRM, a collection of free software tools for activist groups and nonprofits, but your license isn't compatible. Unlike CC BY-NC, which is a general purpose license for creative works, the OFL is a license designed specifically for fonts. A font licensed under the OFL can't be sold on its own, which I think is what you intended by using CC BY-NC. This relatively minor change would make this font compatible with free/open source projects and improve adoption.

Agree with @williamtheaker

I was hoping to use a few of these icons in some templates, but even including a few icons (not reselling the set) in a much larger commercial project seems to be incompatible with the current license. Please correct me if I am wrong.
