This is exciting news! When GitHub originally announced Octicons, many people on HN[2] wished that they were open for general use rather than just for GitHub.
They don't mention this on the page, but this is an icon font (like FontAwesome). The zip includes CSS/SCSS referencing the ttf, svg, woff and eot files.
On a more related note, how do you people feel about the 'ordered list' icon having more lines than numbers, and the 'podium' icon looking like a drinking fountain?
