Something about the description made me follow the link (http://pc.de/fonts/), where I saw nothing of a free license, downloading the archives resulted in no such information as well. The font file ‘PC DE-Bold.otf’ for instance has the following copyright notice: “© 2009 PC.DE © 2009 by Sergiy S. Tkachenko / 4th february (foundry4...@gmail.com). All rights reserved.

Sent this quick email in case anyone wishes to check this up more closely. ~ Kess

It sounds to me as if he doesn't understand Open Source: if he did he wouldn't have posted a font on OFL. Perhaps if it's explained to him he'll revise his licensing terms.

Re: [OpenFontLibrary] Pc.de New Fonts
But, please someone follow up with the guy so he understands the issue...we have to break the shaming and nuking before reaching out that happens in Free Software so often...most of the time folks are just confused.
