There was a problem hiding this comment. I just noticed that our wordmark logo might need a redesign.. On white background it's impossible to see the wordmark.

I specified that we're using MIT for code and everything else (except that the logos of each trademark respectively have their license, so this won't apply), but CC BY-ND 4.0 for our icons, our logo. If I understand well, you want to convert the license to be totally CC BY-ND 4.0, which is something I don't think it's a good idea. 😅
