Hi About discussions about MS license. the question is if the license agreement to restrict only to Microsoft Windows is valid in EU. I do not think so. But only a lawyers can tell about that. Rest of the world I do not known.
In sweden lest we got so call negative license agreement. That mean part of a license agreement is not valid for it is bad for user or goes against any law. 2013/12/2 Steven Edwards <winehac...@gmail.com> > Look at how the Core Fonts for the Web are handled.
