Kind people familiar with the matter, please help me clarify the exact legal status of the Gregorio typeface's design. The about page at the Gregorio project site, http://home.gna.org/gregorio/gregorio-history says:
> From the outset the goal of the project has been to create a graphical > interface for the monks of the Abbey of Sainte Madeleine du Barroux so that > they could use a gregorian font. This font, Gregoria, is a professional and > commercially available OpenType font designed by Elena Albertoni, a > typographer and graphic designer. Finally, due to licence issues, it was > decided that the project will have its own font called gregorio. Gregorio the font seems to be a rather straightforward adaptation of the original Gregoria design. Different implementation gives a clear legal status for the Gregorio font software, I suppose, but isn't a particular type design, as opposed to font software, also under copyright in France? Was this an issue? How it was dealt with? Moreover, can any further software derivatives of Gregorio's design, and for that matter the design of Gregoria itself, be made without any copyright infringement? Thank you all.
