That law is changed by http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1995/Uksi_19953297_en_3.htm#mdiv5 which ups it to 70-from-death for artworks and 50 for computer generated works. > The following, which does mention 25 years, does not apply to a font as > such: > > Duration of copyright in typographical arrangement of published editions I was mistaken! Oops. :-) I've updated http://openfontlibrary.org/wiki/Font_design accordingly and created http://openfontlibrary.org/wiki/Public_domain to which I hope other will add :-) _______________________________________________ Openfontlibrary mailing list Openfontlibrary@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/openfontlibrary
