Description

As the FA5 release date rapidly approaches (30 June, last I looked), I am going to be interested in incorporating my pro license into some of my apps. However, I know that we cannot just give away FA5 Pro Icons.

The only solution I see is for me to generate my own version of MA.M.IP, but I am unsure as to how to incorporate the FA5 Pro icons (or any icons, for that matter) into it. Can a quick-guide be generated? Or, as a separate concept, could a private repo be created that has FA5 icons incorporated, and we just control access to it? (Not sure how we can ensure access is limited to only those who have purchased the Pro pack...)

I'm also open to suggestions on any other ideas.

Research direction

Review the repository's existing icon-pack approach and the Font Awesome 5 licensing constraints described in this issue. Document a supported process for incorporating privately licensed external icons into a personal MA.M.IP build, or clarify whether access-controlled distribution is feasible; done when users have a clear, maintainable answer.
