--- Comment #4 from Santhosh Thottingal <[email protected]> 2012-07-19 03:59:33 UTC --- SIL OFL licene is one of the popular llicenses used by free(dom) fonts. We can allow fonts with compatible licenses. But problem with Gadelica are these: 1) It is a freeware and not "Free Software". The font restricts the freedom to modify and improve. It restricts fixing bugs.(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratis_versus_libre) 2) The restrictions are set by the font author in email when asked explicitly. But the exact license conditions are not documented anywhere as far as I searched. The license/copyright fields inside the true type font is empty(verified using the font editor fontforge). 3) The font is not version controlled and it does not have an issue tracker. Fixing issue or enhancement not permitted a per the email from author. I am happy to work with the author to fix these, if the font author is willing to do so. Otherwise, we need to find out alternate fonts -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
