True.  all-the-icons.el has some links to other freely licensed sets.
Could one of them be a suitable replacement?

All-the-icons uses fonts to "bundle" the icons, which I recall some people dislike, but we could extract them. Here's a link to the details of those fonts: 

  https://github.com/domtronn/all-the-icons.el#resource-fonts

 

That takes you to Github, so here's the relevant data. (I tried to use the eww render, but it lost the links.)

All of the fonts provided in this packages as resources come with either the SIL Open Font License (OFL) or an MIT License, below I will link to each of the fonts Sources and their Licenses.

Font Name	Font	License
file-icons.ttf	Atom File Icons Plugin	MIT LICENSE
fontawesome.ttf	FontAwesome Icons	SIL OFL LICENSE
ocitcons.ttf	GitHub OctIcons	SIL OFL LICENSE
weathericons.ttf	Weather Icons	SIL OFL LICENSE
material-design-icons.ttf	Material Icons	APACHE LICENSE v2.0
all-the-icons.ttf	Custom Made Font	MIT LICENSE

Hope that helps,
