However in practice this part is not checked nor is there any effort to write licenses end-users can understand. Which is why dafont and friends can get by with abysmal licensing documentation without anyone in the closed fonts world complaining. -- Nicolas Mailhot signature.asc Description: Ceci est une partie de message numériquement signée

Actually, it's often worse than just "pay me". Even once you've paid, would that commercial license allow you to create a derivative font for your own specialized needs or desires, even if only used internally? Probably not.
