'''BSicons''' are a series of standardized SVG icons. The name is derived from the German ''<span lang="de">Bahnstrecken</span>'' ("railway lines"). While the icons were originally used to create diagrams for railways, they have also been adopted for illustrating canals, footpaths and motorways.

== Licensing ==
BSicons '''must be in the public domain''', because the ways that they are displayed in diagrams may not meet the attribution requirement of some Creative Commons licenses. Although {{tl|BS-map}} links to the appropriate file description pages, the links may not be clickable in diagrams that use overlays. {{tl|Routemap}} does not link to file description pages.
Most icons comprise basic geometric shapes, and can be unilaterally tagged {{tl|PD-shape}} even if the uploader originally used a Creative Commons license instead. However, intentionally complex icons could theoretically exceed the [[Commons:Threshold of originality|threshold of originality]] of US copyright law.
As of February 2024, there are [[Special:Search/File: intitle:"BSicon" -incategory:"PD shape" -incategory:"PD text" -incategory:"PD-self" -incategory:"PD ineligible" -incategory:"PD-user" -incategory:"CC-Zero" -incategory:"PD-Author" -incategory:"PD textlogo" -incategory:"Public domain images of fonts" -incategory:"PD US NPS" -incategory:"PD MUTCD" -incategory:"PD US Government" -incategory:"PD Germany" -incategory:"PD Sweden"|a few remaining icons]] which are derived from third-party icon sets and cannot be considered public domain.
