Hello,
I am an upstream interested in using some of your icons (as SVG) in my applications.
I would like to have machine readable license and copyright information attached to the files in your repo. Therefor, it would be nice if you could add SPDX meta data and try to follow the REUSE.software standard.
For example the meta data in an SVG file would look like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

The meta data is added as a comment (in most cases). In my experience having the <?xml in the first line is an exception but important in case of xml files. Otherwise some XML/SVG "readers" are not able to interpret it.
EDIT: On your website I can see author names for each icon. So it seems the data still is somewhere in the repo in a structured format.
