I've studied their licence and I think that there should be no major
problem. However it would be wise to check if the OFL can be
DFSG-compliant (for Debian and other derivatives). The
sales/redistribution close is morally acceptable of course but I've seen
a recent case of a licence that by prohibiting anybody to sell the
software was tagged as DFSG-non compliant (since it was depriving the
people from the freedom to sell). I can check it if you wish.
Besides, I have to say that although I've never heard of the SIL, it
would be good to work more with this organization. What do you think?
Charles.
