See answers 1.4 to 1.7 in the following official FAQ of the license: http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=OFL-FAQ_web It is compatible. And as the font is only used by DumpRenderTree for tests, the WebKit API by itself does not need it at all. So, Safari, Chrome/Chromium, etc need to include neither the font, nor the license. > > For support material that has unusual license terms, another possibility is > to have WebKit's support scripts automatically download it, rather than > checking it directly into the repository. CSS font-face could be a workaround but a persistent location should be found (and I suppose WebKit website has the same licensing issues?). And with that solution MathML layout tests could not be run without a network connection.
