Licensing

GeoIcons is dual-licensed. The code is identical either way. Only the license differs.

  • GPLv3 (free): use GeoIcons in open-source projects under the GPLv3 copyleft terms.
  • Commercial: a one-time, permanent key that waives copyleft for closed-source and commercial use. See pricing.

Activate a commercial license

Wrap your app once with IconProvider and pass your key. Verification is requires no network requests, so it works anywhere, including air-gapped builds.

import { IconProvider } from '@geoicons/react';

export default function Root({ children }) {
  return <IconProvider licenseKey={process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_GEOICONS_KEY}>{children}</IconProvider>;
}

What the commercial license covers

All tiers grant the identical, complete icon set. The tier defines the terms: how many developers and products it covers, and whether redistribution is allowed.

  • Hobby: one product, one developer, email support.
  • Business: unlimited products and developers within your organization, priority support.
  • Extended: 1 product with unlimited developers. Includes redistribution rights (SDKs, builders, themes, and templates that ship icons to end users) plus priority support.

Every paid tier also includes downloads of the GeoIcons Figma source file and the raw icon source files (SVG) for use within the scope of their tier.

Except under the Extended tier, you may not redistribute GeoIcons as a standalone icon set, sublicense or resell it, or remove its copyright notices. The binding terms are in the Commercial License Agreement (COMMERCIAL-LICENSE.md) shipped with the package. See pricing for rates.

Open-source projects

If your project is open source, you don't need a key. To silence the compliance notice and declare your GPL intent, pass the declaration string:

<IconProvider licenseKey="GPL-MY-PROJECT-IS-OPEN-SOURCE">{children}</IconProvider>

Enforcement is legal, not technical. Icons always render normally. Without a valid commercial key, a commercial project sees a single, one-time console notice. There is no watermark and no feature gate.
