Worth noting, if you didn't catch it: 50% of the donations for this project will be given to Wikipedia.
Interesting indeed.

This kind of stuff is always nice to see.
One caveat: Effective compliance with a license which requires attribution (CC-BY-SA) in the context of small icons used somewhere in a UI is tricky. We can handle it somewhat haphazardly for our own stuff (although arguably even there it would be preferable to use something like CC-0 for icons), but using third party icons we'd need to have effective and binding clarification that our use (e.g. throwing credits into a file somewhere) is consistent with their preferred attribution.
This is why other sites like http://openclipart.org/ use CC-0.
