High resolution Attribute Icons - Can I use SVG?

Hello. I wanted to know what the regulations are regarding the use of cache attribute icons?

 

The subpage https://www.geocaching.com/about/icons.aspx presents a listing of attributes along with icons, which are SVG images, which constitute the code of the Geocaching website. These are the only scalable attribute images I found on the site. I can also download attribute images via the API (e.g. https://www.geocaching.com/images/attributes/dogs-yes.gif), but they are too small and I definitely need scalable images. Are there higher resolution attribute images somewhere that could be used?

 

I wanted to prepare a tool that would not need to use the Geocaching API at all at an early stage, but would make it easier to select the right attributes for the cache. But to make it look nicer, I would need attribute icons.

IANAL, but I've been informed that the icons are open source and publicly usable, not owned by GCHQ. Apart from trademarked/copyright names and terms used in geocaching specifically, the attributes (most if not all) are free to use. Someone could double check and verify that...
