True, but again, they're free, and they're just about the most complete set you'll find out there "in the world". If someone wants unique, well, they'll just have to create some from scratch.
There *are* dangers in using a popular set, I'll admit. Like when a popular app/site uses a particular icon for one thing, and your app/site uses that same one to depict some other action or feature. I believe this is to be an edge case one must "suffer through" for the use of free assets like this.
For the app that I utilized the FamFamFam icons in, I've actually altered some of the icons, tweaked colors, and even "merged" some of them to depict some other action. If you're able to edit them to your liking, you'll be able to extend what is already offered. This is "allowed", since they're released under the Creative Commons license.
Glad we could help.
