  • noto-emoji

    Noto Emoji fonts

    FYI: google's are Apache licensed here: https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji

    Twitter emoji (discord uses these also) are open source.

    Both of these are very consistent and good open source emoji. I think in the past a lot of these projects that were not backed by companies eventually devolved into a paid product that was no longer open source, but I'm hopeful that openmoji continues down the FOSS path.

  • openmoji

    Open source emojis for designers, developers and everyone else!

    The creator of the project suggests that the license is for edits of the emojis, rather than the projects which use the emoji. [1] As someone involved with the project, I'm not sure how this should be communicated so that this is clear

    > Unless you can point out a column that is specifically open source.

    The "Twtr" (Twitter) column, I believe, is Twitter's "twemoji"[1], which is CC-BY.

    But your general point about the link being for comparison purposes and not implying any particular license is also correct, too.
