I would like to use your icons on my map, is it ok if I give a link to your site underneath?
I am not using these yet on the main site, but I have inserted them on my plan
Yes please, put a credit on your site, your FAQ page or something. It will be fine.
can I use those your icons if I setup my own tile server using OSM data?

I think your map icons are great, especially with its color and style customization feature.
Just like to inform you that currently they are being used on our comunity’s map here: http://j.mp/ufomapid; it’s a map of UFO sighting over Indonesia from the past 40 years, and they look awesome with your icons.
I have put the backlink as well though due to Google Maps limitation it is not a hyperlink.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks
Great map for UFO lovers!
Hi Nicolas
I have extensions for joomla for creating maps. Can I added your icons into my projects, and in about write redits? And if yes, the second question – my exts in GNU GPLv2 or later, and how I can use yours (may be I have to write about CC BY SA 3.0 for your icons)
Mixing the licenses is always complicated.
I think you ext can stay GNU GLPv2, but you have to specify my icons are and always will be CC BY SA 3.0. Meaning, your users/customers will have to credit my icons project too. Please credit Map Icons Collection, in your app and on the web site of your app, in one of the Help/FAQ/Credits/Legal sections.
Hotspots also is a map related ext for Joomla, GNU GPL 2-3 and using my icons as the default map markers https://compojoom.com/joomla-extensions/hotspots
Thanks Nicolas.
I've change my docs for component on site http://zhuk.cc/wiki/index.php/Zh_GoogleMap_Credit…
and change my component to show your credits http://zhuk.cc/wiki/index.php/Zh_GoogleMap_Credit…
If there is no after that any requests or suggestions, I'll do next release of my ext.
This is fine, thanks for the credit!

http://huinmobile.blogspot.com/2012/03/map-icons-…
Please allow me to be able to use your work.
Thanks.
p.s.> I'm not good at writing English. ^^;;
Hello,
The credit is great this way, you can go on with your app!
In the screenshots, I can't see the icons in use: maybe you can add a screenshot showng the icons, just to let me know how it looks?
Kind regards,
Nico
Sorry, my mistakes. ^^;;
I have updated my app's info popup and screenshots.
http://huinmobile.blogspot.com/2012/03/map-icons-…
Thank you very much.
(sorry I have a moderation system, your comments won't appear until I moderate them)
Thanks! it looks great.
When your app is ready on published on Android Market or IOS app store, let me know so that I can add it to my showcase (http://mapicons.nicolasmollet.com/category/showcase/)
Yes. thanks. Nicolas.
Hello. Nicolas.
My app is published at google android market.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com….
(search "huincam" at google market)
Thanks. ^^
Hello.
I have updated my app's MapView and info popup to include logo.
I have added a MapView screenshot.
(All your works to be used in my app are displayed)
Thanks.
Hello.
I'm thinking about using your icons for a maps plugin, but in addition to using some of your icons directly I've adapted your icon style to create a custom icon using our corporate logo.
I don't think it's a good idea (nor do I think I have the authority) to re-release an image containing our trademark under a CC BY-SA license, but I have no problem crediting the Map Icons Collection or passing along the license for the icons I haven't edited.
Do you have any suggestions?
Eric,
I see your problem, an icon containing a trademark can't be released under CC BY SA officially.
From my point of view, I think you should create an icon with your trademark, I won't bother you with the license
A credit is always welcome and it's what matters most to me.
Thank you. I will be sure to credit you.
Hi Nicolas; I would like to use the icons (only 13) in an android app where I will have small unreal offline map where I will use them. I plan to sell the app. I will not change the icons in any way and will put them o the map as is.
As I am not familiar with CC BY SA Iam not sure whether attribution (I will credit in app about screen) is enough in this case.
If you use CCBYSA icons in your app, your app stays with your own license. It's just that you need to credit my project: "Map markers from Map Icons Collection".
And if you rework, build new icons with help of Map Icons Collection, you should mention it: Icons derived from Map Markers Collection.
After mentionning my project, you can use the icons for commercial project too, so yes you can sell your app.
Please credit Map Icons Collection at least in a page of your application. A mention in the installation description is optional but appreciated.

Oui biensur, il faut juste ajouter un credit pour respecter la license.
Hello,
My name is Laura and I am contacting you regarding the use of your map markers.
I selected some of your markers to be a part of a Geo-narrative, which I have created for a first year university assignment. The creative commons licence for these graphics does not require me to contact the author, however in the interest of networking, I am contacting you firstly to thankyou for the use of your graphics (which i have referenced appropriately), and secondly to invite you to take a look at my Geo-Narrative to see how your graphics were incorporated.
Kindly, Laura.
Hello Laura, thanks for your kind words.
Is there a way for me to see your geo-narrative? Please send me the link, I will give it a look.
Kind regards
You sure can, I meat to put the link it the first message. Silly me
