Re: [Openfontlibrary] urw donated or not
I seem to recall that in early versions of Ghostscript the URW fonts had a *much* more restricted licence The AFPL? My recollection is that the URW fonts were always available under both the GPL and AFPL. I do not recall there being any time when Aladdin Ghostscript had the URW fonts and GNU Ghostscript didn't. karl ___ Openfontlibrary mailing list Openfontlibrary@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/openfontlibrary
