The consensus we had reached was that we'd focus on font-specific licenses and limit the library to only: MIT, OFL and GPLv3+font-exception we offer a easy to understand spectrum of: - MIT: attribution-only non-copyleft permits: Distribution, Reproduction, DerivativeWorks requires: Attribution, Notice - OFL: copyleft + community-validated font-specific mechanisms permits: Distribution, Reproduction, Embedding, DerivativeWorks requires: Attribution, Notice, ShareAlike, DerivativeRenaming, BundlingWhenSelling - GPLv3+font-exception: copyleft + font-source requirements (and still a bunch of things to be fixed... and more community input) permits: Distribution, Reproduction, Embedding, DerivativeWorks requires: Attribution, Notice, ShareAlike, ExtendedSourcesFullRedistribution ... (some requirements may disappear downstream) The troubles with "public domain" (grey areas with the definition and legit traceability issues for example) have been discussed at length already and CC combinations are designed for content and not software: http://jay.tuley.name/archives/2006/03/27/5-reasons-not-to-choose-a-Creative-Commons-license-for-code 3 models to choose from is already more than enough. Most of the community has chosen the middle of the spectrum already... Too many licenses fragment our community. -- Nicolas Spalinger, NRSI volunteer Debian/Ubuntu font teams / OpenFontLibrary http://planet.open-fonts.org
