John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-2169:
-------------------------------------
Yep, the licensing situation around the LPPL is more complex than I'd hoped. I
think I may have found a better solution, the [Liberation
fonts|https://fedorahosted.org/liberation-fonts/] are now under the [SIL Open
Font License, Version
1.1|http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=OFL_web].
The only questionable part is as follows:
{quote}
The OFL allows the licensed fonts to be used, studied, modified and
redistributed freely as long as they are not sold by themselves.

Any thoughts?
