FAQ
My application is a daemon without any graphical part, is it considered a CLI application ?
Yes, daemons like OpenSSH for example are considered CLI apps, so you should use the CLI icon and a good description for your application.
My application has a menu icon that opens a curses GUI, is it considered a CLI application ?
No, only applications without any sort of GUI are considered CLI applications.
