Does this mean if someone uses a font under this license to print a book (which could be considered a kind of "reuse") that the original license terms must be printed or indicated in the book? Does there have to be an attribution? > The MIT/X11 License As a font developer why should I particularly want to let anyone "sublicense, and/or sell copies" of a font they got freely from me? I'm happy to share or but I don't particularly want anyone sub licensing or distributing copies for profit. > Zope Public License (ZPL) As a font developer why would I ever want to use a license which states "This software consists of contributions made by Zope Corporation" - I don't even know who they are and the Zope Corporation didn't contribute to any font software I made. - Chris _______________________________________________ Openfontlibrary mailing list Openfontlibrary@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/openfontlibrary
