In both cases where the overview said "MIT License", it is actually the
Expat license:
https://github.com/file-icons/atom/blob/master/LICENSE.md

1. In this case, the fonts were released with the same license that was
originally used for the SVG files:
https://google.github.io/material-design-icons/#licensing
2. In two cases, the icons were actually originally released both as SVG
files, and as fonts using the previously stated license:
https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/blob/master/LICENSE.txt
https://github.com/erikflowers/weather-icons#licensing
https://github.com/file-icons/atom
3. In this case, the original files used expat:
https://github.com/primer/octicons/blob/main/LICENSE
But the font is released using SIL Open Font License. From some
cursory research online, it seems like this may also have been
released by the original copyright holder using the SIL license at
some point, but I'm not sure.
4. Finally, the custom made font uses the Expat license:
https://github.com/domtronn/all-the-icons.el/blob/master/LICENSE
