At the request of upstream, I'm sending this message clarifying the licensing situation for Icelandic and Asana-Math, two fonts on OFLB in order to avoid any future confusion cross-distribution:
Icelandic was created with the advice and permission of the museum involved: http://www.galdrasyning.is/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=418&Itemid=46&lang=en Asana-Math is a derivative work of pxfonts, which is licensed GPL+Exception, however, Asana-Math is licensed OFL. Permission of upstream pxfonts for this relicensing can be found at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=455153 and is fully reproduced below: ----- Forwarded Message ---- > From: Young Ryu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: Apostolos Syropoulos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Saturday, January 5, 2008 2:13:23 AM > Subject: Re: pxfonts and Asana Math > > > I want pxfonts/txfonts to be available in public > for not only document preparation/printing/publication > but also for further modification/revision/improvement. > You can change/copy/re-distribute them.
