Map POI Icon Attribution Boundaries
POI icon sets such as Maki solve map symbols, not map data, tiles, style, basemap providers, place labels, or interaction attribution.
Map symbols are one layer of visual encoding. Agents must govern icon set, sprite, map style, geodata, tile provider, legend, and accessible labels separately instead of treating icon license as map license.95%Resource Licensingicons / licenseIcon Set License, Trademark, and Accessibility Governance
Icons are not arbitrary decoration; primary icon sets, aggregated icons, brand logos, and icon-only controls need separate license, trademark, import, and accessibility rules.
Icon governance keeps symbols visually consistent, legally reusable, screen-reader understandable, tree-shakable, and prevents brand logos from becoming free decoration or implied endorsement.95%Typography Color Accessibilityicons / ariaIcon Accessible Names

Icon-only buttons and statuses need accessible names, while decorative icons should be hidden from assistive technology.84%Visual Foundationsicons / affordanceIcon Text Affordance Balance

Icons are not universal language; affordance comes from icon, label, placement, and feedback together.84%
