Chris Millar commented on SLING-7465:
-------------------------------------
Yes, they are Apache 2 licensed[0]. The WOFF files came from Font Squirrel
which also are listed as Apache 2[1].
I originally proposed[2] Open Sans because of its license. Deep language
support and many weight options were also a factor. I also chose to add the
files themselves rather than using Google's font service which requires an
internet connection to render correctly.
If we need an Apache 2 license specifically in that folder, I can submit a PR.
Same thing for the notice update. [~bdelacretaz] I'll defer to you if we need a
notice added specifically calling out that we use these and they are Apache 2,
but were originally commissioned by Google[3].
It probably also makes sense to move the fonts into a specific `opensans` so
there's no confusion if we ever do add other fonts that have a different
license.

> Hi Dan, assigning this to you as it's related to your changes in SLING-7379
> (cool stuff BTW!)
> Those changes have added fonts under
> [https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-launchpad-content/tree/master/src/main/frontend/src/fonts]
> Do you have licensing information for those fonts? Do we need to add a
> LICENSE to that module for them?
> If that's needed I think we just need to add a license (and notice if needed)
> under appended-resources like in
> https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-commons-log/tree/master/src/main/appended-resources/META-INF
