Could you comment on the license changes?

Why all those directories should be added? Are they relevant?
This needs more explanation in the commit message.
Thanks!

This series bumps the font-awesome package to version 7.2.0, adding
maintainer registration and addressing review comments on license and
directory structure changes since v1.
Changes v1 -> v2:
- Added details about the new license scheme (OFL-1.1 + MIT + CC-BY-4.0)
for fonts, code, and SVG/JS icons to the bump commit message.
- Added explanations for the updated directories list (css js scss webfonts sprites svgs)
and Less removal to the bump commit message.
- Split the DEVELOPERS modification into a separate patch in the series.

This release updates the upstream icon set and related assets.
Refresh the source hash for the new release. Also drop the "v" tag
prefix as upstream dropped it starting from v5.0.
Add myself as the maintainer for font-awesome in DEVELOPERS.
License changes:
- Upstream introduced SVG icons as a first-class feature alongside the
traditional icon fonts starting with v5.0.
- The new icon designs (delivered as SVG and JS assets) are licensed
under CC-BY-4.0 (attribution is satisfied by the copyright comments
in the files).
- The webfont files themselves remain under OFL-1.1, and helper styles
and build code remain under the MIT license.
- Hence, the license is updated to: OFL-1.1 (fonts), MIT (code), CC-BY-4.0 (icons)
- Add LICENSE.txt for hash verification.
Directory changes:
- Drop "less" and "fonts". LESS support has been completely dropped by
upstream in v7.0, and the old font files directory was renamed.
- Add "webfonts", which contains the newer .woff2 webfonts.
- Add "js", which contains scripts for the SVG + JS rendering method.
- Add "sprites" and "svgs", which contain SVG sprite sheets and raw SVG
icons (the CC-BY-4.0 assets) respectively.
- Installing all these directories allows users to choose between the
various rendering methods (CSS+webfonts, SVG+JS, CSS sprite sheets,
or direct SVG usage) for their target systems.

This is a major version bump from 4.7.0 to 7.2.0, skipping versions 5.x
and 6.x. Font Awesome 4.7.0 is end-of-life.
Major changes in version 7.2.0:
Directory structure changes:
- Dropped 'less' and 'fonts' directories
- Added 'js', 'sprites', 'svgs', and 'webfonts' directories
- Retained 'css' and 'scss' with modernized syntax
Technology stack updates:
- Migration to Dart Sass (node-sass and libsass deprecated)
- Removed jQuery, Less CSS, Python Django, Ruby on Rails, and
Require.js support
Icon improvements:
- Expanded from 605 to thousands of icons
- Icons now fixed-width by default
- Icons organized by Packs, Families, and Styles
- Backward compatibility features included to translate v4/v5/v6
icons automatically
Changes to package files:
- Update package description to reflect larger icon count
- Update directory list for Font Awesome 7.x structure
- Update license information to reflect new licensing:
OFL-1.1 (fonts), MIT (code), CC-BY-4.0 (icons)
- Add LICENSE.txt to license files
