|
||
PREAMBLE | ||
The goals of the Open Font License (OFL) are to stimulate worldwide | ||
development of collaborative font projects, to support the font creation | ||
efforts of academic and linguistic communities, and to provide a free and | ||
open framework in which fonts may be shared and improved in partnership | ||
with others. | ||
|
||
The OFL allows the licensed fonts to be used, studied, modified and | ||
redistributed freely as long as they are not sold by themselves. The | ||
fonts, including any derivative works, can be bundled, embedded, | ||
redistributed and/or sold with any software provided that any reserved | ||
names are not used by derivative works. The fonts and derivatives, | ||
however, cannot be released under any other type of license. The | ||
requirement for fonts to remain under this license does not apply | ||
to any document created using the fonts or their derivatives. | ||
|

Copyright FAQ | ||
============= | ||
|
||
1. I don't understand the resale restriction... What gives? | ||
|
||
Bitstream is giving away these fonts, but wishes to ensure its | ||
competitors can't just drop the fonts as is into a font sale system | ||
and sell them as is. It seems fair that if Bitstream can't make money | ||
from the Bitstream Vera fonts, their competitors should not be able to | ||
do so either. You can sell the fonts as part of any software package, | ||
however. | ||
|
||
2. I want to package these fonts separately for distribution and | ||
sale as part of a larger software package or system. Can I do so? | ||
|
||
Yes. A RPM or Debian package is a "larger software package" to begin | ||
with, and you aren't selling them independently by themselves. | ||
See 1. above. | ||
|
||
3. Are derivative works allowed? | ||
Yes! | ||
|
||
4. Can I change or add to the font(s)? | ||
Yes, but you must change the name(s) of the font(s). | ||
|
||
5. Under what terms are derivative works allowed? | ||
|
||
You must change the name(s) of the fonts. This is to ensure the | ||
quality of the fonts, both to protect Bitstream and Gnome. We want to | ||
ensure that if an application has opened a font specifically of these | ||
names, it gets what it expects (though of course, using fontconfig, | ||
substitutions could still could have occurred during font | ||
opening). You must include the Bitstream copyright. Additional | ||
copyrights can be added, as per copyright law. Happy Font Hacking! | ||
|
||
6. If I have improvements for Bitstream Vera, is it possible they might get | ||
adopted in future versions? | ||
|
||
Yes. The contract between the Gnome Foundation and Bitstream has | ||
provisions for working with Bitstream to ensure quality additions to | ||
the Bitstream Vera font family. Please contact us if you have such | ||
additions. Note, that in general, we will want such additions for the | ||
entire family, not just a single font, and that you'll have to keep | ||
both Gnome and Jim Lyles, Vera's designer, happy! To make sense to add | ||
glyphs to the font, they must be stylistically in keeping with Vera's | ||
design. Vera cannot become a "ransom note" font. Jim Lyles will be | ||
providing a document describing the design elements used in Vera, as a | ||
guide and aid for people interested in contributing to Vera. | ||
|
||
7. I want to sell a software package that uses these fonts: Can I do so? | ||
|
||
Sure. Bundle the fonts with your software and sell your software | ||
with the fonts. That is the intent of the copyright. | ||
|
||
8. If applications have built the names "Bitstream Vera" into them, | ||
can I override this somehow to use fonts of my choosing? | ||
|
||
This depends on exact details of the software. Most open source | ||
systems and software (e.g., Gnome, KDE, etc.) are now converting to | ||
use fontconfig (see www.fontconfig.org) to handle font configuration, | ||
selection and substitution; it has provisions for overriding font | ||
names and subsituting alternatives. An example is provided by the | ||
supplied local.conf file, which chooses the family Bitstream Vera for | ||
"sans", "serif" and "monospace". Other software (e.g., the XFree86 | ||
core server) has other mechanisms for font substitution. | ||
