The section in italic under "Copyright" is the font license > (is copyright on the above-referenced page all there is to it?) To the best of my knowledge, yes. This page has been unchanged for quite a long time and Bitstream never had any problem with it. > Is it the GPL-style license? No, it's a one-of-a kind "Bitream Vera" license. Basically you can do whatever you want with the font as long as it's renamed (if you tweak it) and you don't try to use it in a "font collection" (a media full of raw fonts, Bitstream's core business) Experience proved that the renaming part is a bother. Since Bitstream is not fixing its font nor blessing fixes by others Vera effectively fossilized. Several Vera forks (enhanced fonts renamed to respect the license) are alive, the biggest of which is dejavu (dejavu.sf.net) -- Nicolas Mailhot _______________________________________________ Fonts mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/fonts
