There may be a licensing problem

Hi folks,
Nice work, but I do think there is a licensing problem with the assets: see: http://fontawesome.io/license/
While the CSS stuff is MIT, the /fonts/ directory is not. It's http://scripts.sil.org/OFL . Having a very short look a your code, it seems there is a problem.
Your license is MIT, but I don't see a different one for the extracted svg's. Is it possible to convert SIL to MIT? ... please check!
@davegandy what do you think?
I'm not a lawyer, so the above may be wrong.
I merely have Font Awesome as a dependency.
Hmmm, IMO https://github.com/crocodilejs/font-awesome-assets/tree/master/media/rainbow is a complete republishing, with MIT and not SIL? .
@pmario do I just change the license on this project, or make a note about the fonts being licensed under SIL OFL 1.1? I'll make a note in the Readme right now though.
For me, it looks much better now. ... I'd like to see what @davegandy says.
