Now, on the opposite end of the spectrum, just how acceptable is it for a license to require bundling when selling, and not allow unaccompanied distribution for a fee? The FSF mentions this as a reason that the Code Project Open License is non-free, but several paragraphs later they say of the OFL "Since a simple Hello World program will satisfy the requirement, it is harmless." Before the PT fonts were released under the OFL they had a license that was libre in all possible respects except for a clause "You may bundle the font with commercial software, but you may not sell the fonts by itself [sic]. They are free."
