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

there are bots that patrol Twitter, upload permissive content with the correct attribution and link back to the source. See more here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Flickr2Commons
All of those languages and more are linked in the sidebar, what would you prefer to see?
