Right, but since DRM has come to mean the restriction/enforcement subset, "DRE" is more likely to stand for "Digital Rights Expression" and speak to (RDF-ish) description systems which, as you say, have been pioneered by Creative Commons. For fonts I'm big on such descriptive DRE systems, especially with the upcoming "web embedding" fonts functionality in CSS3, because its going to be a big opportunity for free software licensed fonts to shout about how they are free :-) -- Regards, Dave - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
