Usage of icons for commercial purpose

Is it possible to use the icons on digital projects such as apps, websites, advertisements, and blogs?

What does Commercial usage mean?

Commercial usage simply means usage of icons for any purpose direct or indirect to generate revenue towards your business.

Commercial use may also need not necessarily be income-generating instantly, it may be considered as an investment towards a future use that will create or generate income at a later point of time.

For eg: if the icons are used into your personnel website to enhance the look of the website and to create a better image of the same or even to boost the website's image that might be visited by other viewers at a later point of time and if that adds on to the revenue generation part in the coming future then it may also be considered as commercial use.

Another eg would be the usage of icons in a presentation, wherein you add on the icons to enhance your PowerPoint presentation or even a simple slideshow can be considered for income generation at present or as in the coming future.

What Personnel usage means?

Personnel usage simply means usage of icons for any purpose of entertainment or creativity that does not generate revenue currently or in the near coming future towards the business of any kind and solely for the personal interest of the individual alone.

For eg: if you are trying to decorate a gift with the icon's image or trying to complete a school assignment for your kids for educational purposes or even decorate an area of your house with the design of the icons then it may be considered as a personal usage of the icons.
