Hi, I'm looking at the BenchNine font, because some upstream documentation that I'm packaging uses this font. Unfortunately, it appears that its license may be non-DFSG due to this:
No Modified Version of the Font Software may use the Reserved Font
Name(s) unless explicit written permission is granted by the
corresponding Copyright Holder. This restriction only applies to the
primary font name as presented to the users.
https://fonts.google.com/specimen/BenchNine/license
I understand how this is arguably important for the end-user experience
of fonts as well as what might be called integrity of design principles
which affect potentially affect the author's reputation. That said, it
feels non-DFSGish. What do you think?
Can we clarify our position on this (somewhere) please?
Kind regards,
Nicholas
