I always assumed Font Awesome had some business agreement with those orgs eventually as font awesome did charge for some of their icons IIRC.
Having said that, I'm not sure even that is legally necessary.

I imagine avoiding IP legal issues with things like icons could be less about signing agreements with all involved companies and more about having a team that can respond professionally to an inquiry.
Businesses may often not really understand what’s going on and default to being worried about third-party use of their trademarks that they normally must defend. Perhaps they don’t need to worry in this case, where it may actually provide a bit of free advertisement, but if there’s no one on the other side then it wouldn’t help the case.
IANAL
