Considering how OrganicMaps sources icons from FlatIcons (eg. toilet and cinema icons) we should probably cite them properly. Per their attribution guidelines, we should put credits for them in the app stores' descriptions.

Wow, that's a complexity that is better to avoid (including translations!). It would be way easier to use icons from other sources instead.

Is it hard to make a full list of FlatIcons used in OM?

We should not have any icons from Flaticon. At least we didn't take any graphics from them intentionally. Primitive icons can look very similar.

According to my records, toilet was taken from Material Design Icons and Cinema from Font Awesome. If you 100% sure that icons are from Flaticons - please let us know and we will replace them.

ICON NAME	ICON SET	ICON ORG NAME
ic_category_toilet	Material Design Icons	ic_wc_24px
ic_category_toilet_night	Material Design Icons	ic_wc_24px
cinema-m.svg	Font Awesome Free	Local Movies

I checked, ~~and I couldn't find anything on Material Design Icons for toilet icons used in OM after doing a quick search.~~ and I found that the toilet icon is on FreeIcons as well as Google's own Material Icons site. What's interesting about the two is that downloading from FreeIcons requires attribution, while downloading directly from Google does not.

Regarding Cinema, the category list and search icon both use the old icon from MAPS.ME, which I'm assuming was copyrighted:

One more thing: #3302 uses icons from FlatIcons. The thing is, the author thinks it's fine because we already attribute FreePik (FlatIcon's parent company). According to their attribution policy, all we need to do is cite them somewhere to use their product, which we already do. Does this apply to FlatIcons as well?
