Description:
community/openstreetmap-map-icons-svn 31588-1 [installed]
A set of public domain licensed map icons for general OSM use
It is questionable if it is “Licensed” or dedicated.
See the file: /usr/share/licenses/openstreetmap-map-icons/svg-twotone/LICENSE.txt
it does not matter if the file is named “LICENSE”, it could be also named anyhow else.
There must be reason why the organization Creative Commons is not using the word “License” in that text, and that is why I propose to simply say in description:
A set of public domain map icons for general OSM use
