I assumed since MIT is supposedly as friendly as Apache, that all licenses
in an MIT package were also Category A or B.  I didn't think I had to go
digging through their IP, especially since it was the basis for the
FlatSpark theme.

I saw your note on the issue.  Why couldn't they use some other CC license
like CC-BY that doesn't have NC and/or ND?  The link for CC-A in Legal
Resolved [2] seems to end up at CC-BY.  I've never been clear whether they
are the same or not.  I thought many forms of CC could be used in binary
packages.
