2011-06-01 (Paul Flo Williams) Dotrice Version 1.001
|

- Initial release for Open Font Library. This release doesn't include
|
||||
the oblique style (because I haven't finished it), Dotrice Worn or
|
||||
Dotrice Touch, or the build scripts, because they are currently too
|
||||
messy.

OFL FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about the SIL Open Font License (OFL)
|
||||
Version 1.1-update1 - 31 March 2009
|
||||
(See http://scripts.sil.org/OFL for updates)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1 ABOUT USING AND DISTRIBUTING FONTS LICENSED UNDER THE OFL
|
||||
|
||||
1.1 Can I use the fonts in any publication, even embedded in the file?
|
||||
Yes. You may use them like most other fonts, but unlike some fonts you may
|
||||
include an embedded subset of the fonts in your document. Such use does not
|
||||
require you to include this license or other files (listed in OFL condition 2),
|
||||
nor does it require any type of acknowledgement within the publication. Some
|
||||
mention of the font name within the publication information (such as in a
|
||||
colophon) is usually appreciated. If you wish to include the complete font as a
|
||||
separate file, you should distribute the full font package, including all
|
||||
existing acknowledgements, and comply with the OFL conditions. Of course,
|
||||
referencing or embedding an OFL font in any document does not change the
|
||||
license of the document itself. The requirement for fonts to remain under the
|
||||
OFL does not apply to any document created using the fonts and their
|
||||
derivatives. Similarly, creating any kind of graphic using a font under OFL
|
||||
does not make the resulting artwork subject to the OFL.
|
||||
|
||||
1.2 Can I make web pages using these fonts?
|
||||
Yes! Go ahead! Using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is recommended. Direct usage
|
||||
of fonts retrieved from a remote server - also referred to as font linking -
|
||||
using cross-platform open standards like @font-face is encouraged. This is
|
||||
considered to be use and distribution for which the OFL explicitly grants
|
||||
permission. The font file itself is not embedded in the webpage but referenced
|
||||
through a web address (i.e. a URI regardless of file format or access protocol)
|
||||
which will cause the browser to retrieve and use the corresponding font to
|
||||
render the webpage. This usage scenario is different from font embedding within
|
||||
a document (i.e. a PDF) where the font or some of its elements become part of
|
||||
the document. Note that embedding in a document is also permitted by the
|
||||
license as indicated in 1.1. (See 1.10 for details related to URL-based access
|
||||
restrictions methods or DRM mechanisms).
|
||||
|
||||
1.3 Can I make the fonts available to others from my web site?
|
||||
Yes, as long as you meet the conditions of the license (do not sell by itself,
|
||||
include the necessary files, include the necessary copyright and license
|
||||
information, rename Modified Versions, do not abuse the Author(s)' name(s) and
|
||||
do not sublicense). In the case where you are hosting fonts to be served on the
|
||||
web, make sure the file contains the needed copyright notice(s) and licensing
|
||||
information in its metadata. Please double-check the accuracy of every field to
|
||||
prevent contradictory information. If you are making the font available for use
|
||||
via the @font-face open standard, putting this information in the standard font
|
||||
metadata fields is sufficient. Other font formats, including EOT and proposed
|
||||
superior alternatives, already provide fields for this information.
|
||||
|
||||
1.4 Can the fonts be included with Free/Libre and Open Source Software
|
||||
collections such as GNU/Linux and BSD distributions?
|
||||
Yes! Fonts licensed under the OFL can be freely aggregated with software under
|
||||
FLOSS (Free/Libre and Open Source Software) licenses. Since fonts are much more
|
||||
useful aggregated to than merged with existing software, possible
|
||||
incompatibility with existing software licenses is not a problem. You can also
|
||||
repackage the fonts and the accompanying components in a .rpm or .deb package
|
||||
and include them in distro CD/DVDs and online repositories.
|
||||
|
||||
1.5 I want to distribute the fonts with my program. Does this mean my program
|
||||
also has to be free/libre and open source software?
|
||||
No. Only the portions based on the Font Software are required to be released
|
||||
under the OFL. The intent of the license is to allow aggregation or bundling
|
||||
with software under restricted licensing as well.
|
||||
|
||||
1.6 Can I include the fonts on a CD of freeware or commercial fonts?
|
||||
Yes, as long some other font or software is also on the disk, so the OFL font
|
||||
is not sold by itself.
|
||||
|
||||
1.7 Can I sell a software package that includes these fonts?
|
||||
Yes, you can do this with both the Original Version and a Modified Version.
|
||||
Examples of bundling made possible by the OFL would include: word processors,
|
||||
design and publishing applications, training and educational software,
|
||||
edutainment software, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
1.8 Why won't the OFL let me sell the fonts alone?
|
||||
The intent is to keep people from making money by simply redistributing the
|
||||
fonts. The only people who ought to profit directly from the fonts should be
|
||||
the original authors, and those authors have kindly given up potential direct
|
||||
income to distribute their fonts under the OFL. Please honor and respect their
|
||||
contribution!
|
||||
|
||||
1.9 I've come across a font released under the OFL. How can I easily get more
|
||||
information about the Original Version? How can I know where it stands compared
|
||||
to the Original Version or other Modified Versions?
|
||||
Consult the copyright statement(s) in the license for ways to contact the
|
||||
original authors. Consult the FONTLOG for information on how the font differs
|
||||
from the Original Version, and get in touch with the various contributors via
|
||||
the information in the acknowledgment section. Please consider using the
|
||||
Original Versions of the fonts whenever possible.
|
||||
|
||||
1.10 What do you mean in condition 4? Can you provide examples of abusive
|
||||
promotion / endorsement / advertisement vs. normal acknowledgement?
|
||||
The intent is that the goodwill and reputation of the author(s) should not be
|
||||
used in a way that makes it sound like the original author(s) endorse or
|
||||
approve of a specific Modified Version or software bundle. For example, it
|
||||
would not be right to advertise a word processor by naming the author(s) in a
|
||||
listing of software features, or to promote a Modified Version on a web site by
|
||||
saying "designed by ...". However, it would be appropriate to acknowledge the
|
||||
author(s) if your software package has a list of people who deserve thanks. We
|
||||
realize that this can seem to be a gray area, but the standard used to judge an
|
||||
acknowledgement is that if the acknowledgement benefits the author(s) it is
|
||||
allowed, but if it primarily benefits other parties, or could reflect poorly on
|
||||
the author(s), then it is not.
|
||||
|
||||
1.11 Can Font Software released under the OFL be subject to URL-based access
|
||||
restrictions methods or DRM mechanisms?
|
||||
Yes, but these issues are out-of-scope for the OFL. The license itself neither
|
||||
encourages their use nor prohibits them since such mechanisms are not
|
||||
implemented in the components of the Font Software but through external
|
||||
software. Such restrictions are put in place for many different purposes
|
||||
corresponding to various usage scenarios. One common example is to limit
|
||||
potentially dangerous cross-site scripting attacks. However, in the spirit of
|
||||
libre/open fonts and unrestricted writing systems, we strongly encourage open
|
||||
sharing and reuse of OFL fonts, and the establishment of an environment where
|
||||
such restrictions are unnecessary. Note that whether you wish to use such
|
||||
mechanisms or you prefer not to, you must still abide by the rules set forth by
|
||||
the OFL when using fonts released by their authors under this license.
|
||||
Derivative fonts must be licensed under the OFL, even if they are part of a
|
||||
service for which you charge fees and/or for which access to source code is
|
||||
restricted. You may not sell the fonts on their own - they must be part of a
|
||||
larger software package or bundle. For example, even if the OFL font is
|
||||
distributed in a software package or via an online service using a DRM
|
||||
mechanism, the user would still have the right to extract that font, use,
|
||||
study, modify and redistribute it under the OFL.
|
||||
|
||||
1.12 What about distributing fonts with a document? Within a compressed folder
|
||||
structure like an OpenDocument file (.odt) for example? Is it redistribution,
|
||||
bundling or embedding?
|
||||
The vast majority of the time, documents circulated in electronic form
|
||||
reference a font name which will match the corresponding font on the target
|
||||
system but do not carry the font within themselves. There may, however, be some
|
||||
cases where you need to bundle a font with the document. Certain document
|
||||
formats may allow the inclusion of an unmodified font within their file
|
||||
structure which consists of a compressed folder containing the various
|
||||
resources forming the document (such as pictures and thumbnails). Including
|
||||
fonts within such a structure is understood as being different from embedding
|
||||
but rather similar to bundling (or mere aggregation) for which the licensing
|
||||
makes explicit provision. In this case the font is conveyed unchanged whereas
|
||||
embedding a font transforms it from the original format. The OFL does not allow
|
||||
anyone to extract the font from such a structure to then redistribute it under
|
||||
another license. The explicit permission to redistribute and embed does not
|
||||
cancel the requirement for the Font Software to remain under the license chosen
|
||||
by its Author(s).
|
||||
|
||||
1.13 If OFL fonts are extracted from a document in which they are embedded
|
||||
(such as a PDF file), what can be done with them? Is this a risk to Author(s)?
|
||||
The few utilities that can extract fonts embedded in a PDF will only output
|
||||
limited amounts of outlines - not a complete font. To create a working font
|
||||
from this method is much more difficult than finding the source of the original
|
||||
OFL font. So there is little chance that an OFL font would be extracted and
|
||||
redistributed inappropriately through this method. Even so, copyright laws
|
||||
address any misrepresentation of authorship. All Font Software released under
|
||||
the OFL and marked as such by the Author(s) is intended to remain under this
|
||||
license regardless of the distribution method, and cannot be redistributed
|
||||
under any other license. We strongly discourage any font extraction - we
|
||||
recommend directly using the font sources instead - but if you extract font
|
||||
outlines from a document please be considerate, use your common sense and
|
||||
respect the work of the Author(s) and the licensing model.
|
||||
|
||||
1.14 What about sharing OFL fonts with friends on a CD, DVD or USB stick?
|
||||
You are very welcome to share open fonts with friends, family and colleagues on
|
||||
such removable media. Please make sure that you share and share-alike as much
|
||||
as possible from what the Author(s) released and that you don't strip away
|
||||
useful information which may not be present in the binary font files
|
||||
themselves. Just remember that in the case where you sell the font, it has to
|
||||
come bundled with software.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2 ABOUT MODIFYING OFL LICENSED FONTS
|
||||
|
||||
2.1 Can I change the fonts? Are there any limitations to what things I can and
|
||||
cannot change?
|
||||
You are allowed to change anything, as long as such changes do not violate the
|
||||
terms of the license. In other words, you are not allowed to remove the
|
||||
copyright statement(s) from the font, but you could add additional information
|
||||
into it that covers your contribution.
|
||||
|
||||
2.2 I have a font that needs a few extra glyphs - can I take them from an OFL
|
||||
licensed font and copy them into mine?
|
||||
Yes, but if you distribute that font to others it must be under the OFL, and
|
||||
include the information mentioned in condition 2 of the license.
|
||||
|
||||
2.3 Can I charge people for my additional work? In other words, if I add a
|
||||
bunch of special glyphs and/or OpenType/Graphite code, can I sell the enhanced
|
||||
font?
|
||||
Not by itself. Derivative fonts must be released under the OFL and cannot be
|
||||
sold by themselves. It is permitted, however, to include them in a larger
|
||||
software package (such as text editors, office suites or operating systems),
|
||||
even if the larger package is sold. In that case, you are strongly encouraged,
|
||||
but not required, to also make that derived font easily and freely available
|
||||
outside of the larger package.
|
||||
|
||||
2.4 Can I pay someone to enhance the fonts for my use and distribution?
|
||||
Yes. This is a good way to fund the further development of the fonts. Keep in
|
||||
mind, however, that if the font is distributed to others it must be under the
|
||||
OFL. You won't be able to recover your investment by exclusively selling the
|
||||
font, but you will be making a valuable contribution to the community. Please
|
||||
remember how you have benefitted from the contributions of others.
|
||||
|
||||
2.5 I need to make substantial revisions to the font to make it work with my
|
||||
program. It will be a lot of work, and a big investment, and I want to be sure
|
||||
that it can only be distributed with my program. Can I restrict its use?
|
||||
No. If you redistribute a Modified Version of the font it must be under the
|
||||
OFL. You may not restrict it in any way. This is intended to ensure that all
|
||||
released improvements to the fonts become available to everyone. But you will
|
||||
likely get an edge over competitors by being the first to distribute a bundle
|
||||
with the enhancements. Again, please remember how you have benefitted from the
|
||||
contributions of others.
|
||||
|
||||
2.6 Do I have to make any derivative fonts (including extended source files,
|
||||
build scripts, documentation, etc.) publicly available?
|
||||
No, but please do share your improvements with others. You may find that you
|
||||
receive more than what you gave in return.
|
||||
|
||||
2.7 Why can't I use the Reserved Font Name(s) in my derivative font names? I'd
|
||||
like people to know where the design came from.
|
||||
The best way to acknowledge the source of the design is to thank the original
|
||||
authors and any other contributors in the files that are distributed with your
|
||||
revised font (although no acknowledgement is required). The FONTLOG is a
|
||||
natural place to do this. Reserved Font Name(s) ensure that the only fonts that
|
||||
have the original names are the unmodified Original Versions. This allows
|
||||
designers to maintain artistic integrity while allowing collaboration to
|
||||
happen. It eliminates potential confusion and name conflicts. When choosing a
|
||||
name be creative and avoid names that reuse almost all the same letters in the
|
||||
same order or sound like the original. Keep in mind that the Copyright
|
||||
Holder(s) can allow a specific trusted partner to use Reserved Font Name(s)
|
||||
through a separate written agreement.
|
||||
|
||||
2.8 What do you mean by "primary name as presented to the user"? Are you
|
||||
referring to the font menu name?
|
||||
Yes, the requirement to change the visible name used to differentiate the font
|
||||
from others applies to the font menu name and other mechanisms to specify a
|
||||
font in a document. It would be fine, for example, to keep a text reference to
|
||||
the original fonts in the description field, in your modified source file or in
|
||||
documentation provided alongside your derivative as long as no one could be
|
||||
confused that your modified source is the original. But you cannot use the
|
||||
Reserved Font Names in any way to identify the font to the user (unless the
|
||||
Copyright Holder(s) allow(s) it through a separate agreement; see section 2.7).
|
||||
Users who install derivatives ("Modified Versions") on their systems should not
|
||||
see any of the original names ("Reserved Font Names") in their font menus, for
|
||||
example. Again, this is to ensure that users are not confused and do not
|
||||
mistake a font for another and so expect features only another derivative or
|
||||
the Original Version can actually offer. Ultimately, creating name conflicts
|
||||
will cause many problems for the users as well as for the designer of both the
|
||||
Original and Modified versions, so please think ahead and find a good name for
|
||||
your own derivative. Font substitution systems like fontconfig, or
|
||||
application-level font fallback configuration within OpenOffice.org or Scribus,
|
||||
will also get very confused if the name of the font they are configured to
|
||||
substitute to actually refers to another physical font on the user's hard
|
||||
drive. It will help everyone if Original Versions and Modified Versions can
|
||||
easily be distinguished from one another and from other derivatives. The
|
||||
substitution mechanism itself is outside the scope of the license. Users can
|
||||
always manually change a font reference in a document or set up some kind of
|
||||
substitution at a higher level but at the lower level the fonts themselves have
|
||||
to respect the Reserved Font Name(s) requirement to prevent ambiguity. If a
|
||||
substitution is currently active the user should be aware of it.
|
||||
|
||||
2.9 Am I not allowed to use any part of the Reserved Font Names?
|
||||
You may not use the words of the font names, but you would be allowed to use
|
||||
parts of words, as long as you do not use any word from the Reserved Font Names
|
||||
entirely. We do not recommend using parts of words because of potential
|
||||
confusion, but it is allowed. For example, if "Foobar" was a Reserved Font
|
||||
Name, you would be allowed to use "Foo" or "bar", although we would not
|
||||
recommend it. Such an unfortunate choice would confuse the users of your fonts
|
||||
as well as make it harder for other designers to contribute.
|
||||
|
||||
2.10 So what should I, as an author, identify as Reserved Font Names?
|
||||
Original authors are encouraged to name their fonts using clear, distinct
|
||||
names, and only declare the unique parts of the name as Reserved Font Names.
|
||||
For example, the author of a font called "Foobar Sans" would declare "Foobar"
|
||||
as a Reserved Font Name, but not "Sans", as that is a common typographical
|
||||
term, and may be a useful word to use in a derivative font name. Reserved Font
|
||||
Names should also be single words. A font called "Flowing River" should have
|
||||
Reserved Font Names "Flowing" and "River", not "Flowing River".
|
||||
|
||||
2.11 Do I, as an author, have to identify any Reserved Font Names?
|
||||
No, but we strongly encourage you to do so. This is to avoid confusion between
|
||||
your work and Modified versions. You may, however, give certain trusted parties
|
||||
the right to use any of your Reserved Font Names through separate written
|
||||
agreements. For example, even if "Foobar" is a RFN, you could write up an
|
||||
agreement to give company "XYZ" the right to distribute a modified version with
|
||||
a name that includes "Foobar". This allows for freedom without confusion.
|
||||
|
||||
2.12 Are any names (such as the main font name) reserved by default?
|
||||
No. That is a change to the license as of version 1.1. If you want any names to
|
||||
be Reserved Font Names, they must be specified after the copyright statement(s).
|
||||
|
||||
2.13 What is this FONTLOG thing exactly?
|
||||
It has three purposes: 1) to provide basic information on the font to users and
|
||||
other developers, 2) to document changes that have been made to the font or
|
||||
accompanying files, either by the original authors or others, and 3) to provide
|
||||
a place to acknowledge the authors and other contributors. Please use it! See
|
||||
below for details on how changes should be noted.
|
||||
|
||||
2.14 Am I required to update the FONTLOG?
|
||||
No, but users, designers and other developers might get very frustrated at you
|
||||
if you don't! People need to know how derivative fonts differ from the
|
||||
original, and how to take advantage of the changes, or build on them.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3 ABOUT THE FONTLOG
|
||||
|
||||
The FONTLOG can take a variety of formats, but should include these four
|
||||
sections:
|
||||
|
||||
3.1 FONTLOG for <FontFamilyName>
|
||||
This file provides detailed information on the <FontFamilyName> Font Software.
|
||||
This information should be distributed along with the <FontFamilyName> fonts
|
||||
and any derivative works.
|
||||
|
||||
3.2 Basic Font Information
|
||||
(Here is where you would describe the purpose and brief specifications for the
|
||||
font project, and where users can find more detailed documentation. It can also
|
||||
include references to how changes can be contributed back to the Original
|
||||
Version. You may also wish to include a short guide to the design, or a
|
||||
reference to such a document.)

(Original authors can also include information here about their organization.)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
4 ABOUT MAKING CONTRIBUTIONS
|
||||
|
||||
4.1 Why should I contribute my changes back to the original authors?
|
||||
It would benefit many people if you contributed back to what you've received.
|
||||
Providing your contributions and improvements to the fonts and other components
|
||||
(data files, source code, build scripts, documentation, etc.) could be a
|
||||
tremendous help and would encourage others to contribute as well and 'give
|
||||
back', which means you will have an opportunity to benefit from other people's
|
||||
contributions as well. Sometimes maintaining your own separate version takes
|
||||
more effort than merging back with the original. Be aware that any
|
||||
contributions, however, must be either your own original creation or work that
|
||||
you own, and you may be asked to affirm that clearly when you contribute.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2 I've made some very nice improvements to the font, will you consider
|
||||
adopting them and putting them into future Original Versions?
|
||||
Most authors would be very happy to receive such contributions. Keep in mind
|
||||
that it is unlikely that they would want to incorporate major changes that
|
||||
would require additional work on their end. Any contributions would likely need
|
||||
to be made for all the fonts in a family and match the overall design and
|
||||
style. Authors are encouraged to include a guide to the design with the fonts.
|
||||
It would also help to have contributions submitted as patches or clearly marked
|
||||
changes (the use of smart source revision control systems like subversion, svk,
|
||||
mercurial, git or bzr is a good idea). Examples of useful contributions are bug
|
||||
fixes, additional glyphs, stylistic alternates (and the smart font code to
|
||||
access them) or improved hinting.
|
||||
|
||||
4.3 How can I financially support the development of OFL fonts?
|
||||
It is likely that most authors of OFL fonts would accept financial
|
||||
contributions - contact them for instructions on how to do this. Such
|
||||
contributions would support future development. You can also pay for others to
|
||||
enhance the fonts and contribute the results back to the original authors for
|
||||
inclusion in the Original Version.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
5 ABOUT THE LICENSE
|
||||
|
||||
5.1 I see that this is version 1.1 of the license. Will there be later changes?
|
||||
Version 1.1 is the first minor revision of the OFL. We are confident that
|
||||
version 1.1 will meet most needs, but are open to future improvements. Any
|
||||
revisions would be for future font releases, and previously existing licenses
|
||||
would remain in effect. No retroactive changes are possible, although the
|
||||
Copyright Holder(s) can re-release the font under a revised OFL. All versions
|
||||
will be available on our web site: http://scripts.sil.org/OFL.
|
||||
|
||||
5.2 Can I use the SIL Open Font License for my own fonts?
|
||||
Yes! We heartily encourage anyone to use the OFL to distribute their own
|
||||
original fonts. It is a carefully constructed license that allows great freedom
|
||||
along with enough artistic integrity protection for the work of the authors as
|
||||
well as clear rules for other contributors and those who redistribute the
|
||||
fonts. Some additional information about using the OFL is included at the end
|
||||
of this FAQ.
|
||||
|
||||
5.3 Does this license restrict the rights of the Copyright Holder(s)?
|
||||
No. The Copyright Holder(s) still retain(s) all the rights to their creation;
|
||||
they are only releasing a portion of it for use in a specific way. For example,
|
||||
the Copyright Holder(s) may choose to release a 'basic' version of their font
|
||||
under the OFL, but sell a restricted 'enhanced' version. Only the Copyright
|
||||
Holder(s) can do this.
|
||||
|
||||
5.4 Is the OFL a contract or a license?
|
||||
The OFL is a license and not a contract and so does not require you to sign it
|
||||
to have legal validity. By using, modifying and redistributing components under
|
||||
the OFL you indicate that you accept the license.
|
||||
|
||||
5.5 How about translating the license and the FAQ into other languages?
|
||||
SIL certainly recognises the need for people who are not familiar with English
|
||||
to be able to understand the OFL and this FAQ better in their own language.
|
||||
Making the license very clear and readable is a key goal of the OFL.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are an experienced translator, you are very welcome to help by
|
||||
translating the OFL and its FAQ so that designers and users in your language
|
||||
community can understand the license better. But only the original English
|
||||
version of the license has legal value and has been approved by the community.
|
||||
Translations do not count as legal substitutes and should only serve as a way
|
||||
to explain the original license. SIL - as the author and steward of the license
|
||||
for the community at large - does not approve any translation of the OFL as
|
||||
legally valid because even small translation ambiguities could be abused and
|
||||
create problems.
|
||||
|
||||
We give permission to publish unofficial translations into other languages
|
||||
provided that they comply with the following guidelines:
|
||||
|
||||
- put the following disclaimer in both English and the target language stating
|
||||
clearly that the translation is unofficial:
|
||||
|
||||
"This is an unofficial translation of the SIL Open Font License into $language.
|
||||
It was not published by SIL International, and does not legally state the
|
||||
distribution terms for fonts that use the OFL. A release under the OFL is only
|
||||
valid when using the original English text.
|
||||
|
||||
However, we recognize that this unofficial translation will help users and
|
||||
designers not familiar with English to understand the SIL OFL better and make
|
||||
it easier to use and release font families under this collaborative font design
|
||||
model. We encourage designers who consider releasing their creation under the
|
||||
OFL to read the FAQ in their own language if it is available.
|
||||
|
||||
Please go to http://scripts.sil.org/OFL for the official version of the license
|
||||
and the accompanying FAQ."
|
||||
|
||||
- keep your unofficial translation current and update it at our request if
|
||||
needed, for example if there is any ambiguity which could lead to confusion.
|
||||
|
||||
If you start such a unofficial translation effort of the OFL and its
|
||||
accompanying FAQ please let us know, thank you.

6 ABOUT SIL INTERNATIONAL
|
||||
|
||||
6.1 Who is SIL International and what does it do?
|
||||
SIL International is a worldwide faith-based education and development
|
||||
organization (NGO) that studies, documents, and assists in developing the
|
||||
world's lesser-known languages through literacy, linguistics, translation, and
|
||||
other academic disciplines. SIL makes its services available to all without
|
||||
regard to religious belief, political ideology, gender, race, or ethnic
|
||||
background. SIL's members and volunteers share a Christian commitment.
|
||||
|
||||
6.2 What does this have to do with font licensing?
|
||||
The ability to read, write, type and publish in one's own language is one of
|
||||
the most critical needs for millions of people around the world. This requires
|
||||
fonts that are widely available and support lesser-known languages. SIL
|
||||
develops - and encourages others to develop - a complete stack of writing
|
||||
systems implementation components available under open licenses. This open
|
||||
stack includes input methods, smart fonts, smart rendering libraries and smart
|
||||
applications. There has been a need for a common open license that is
|
||||
specifically applicable to fonts and related software (a crucial component of
|
||||
this stack) so SIL developed the SIL Open Font License with the help of the
|
||||
FLOSS community.
|
||||
|
||||

7 ABOUT USING THE OFL FOR YOUR ORIGINAL FONTS
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to release your fonts under the OFL, you only need to do the
|
||||
following:
|
||||
|
||||
7.1 Put your copyright and reserved font names information in the beginning of
|
||||
the main OFL file (simply use the dedicated placeholders).
|
||||
7.2 Put your copyright and the OFL references in your various font files (such
|
||||
as in the copyright, license and description fields) and in your other
|
||||
components (build scripts, glyph databases, documentation, rendering samples,
|
||||
etc). Accurate metadata in your font files is beneficial to you as an
|
||||
increasing number of applications are exposing this information to the user.
|
||||
For example, clickable links can bring users back to your website and let them
|
||||
know about other work you have done or services you provide. Depending on the
|
||||
format of your fonts and sources, you can use template human-readable headers
|
||||
or machine-readable metadata.
|
||||
7.3 Write an initial FONTLOG for your font and include it in the release
|
||||
package.
|
||||
7.4 Include the OFL license file in your release package.
|
||||
7.5 We also highly recommend you include the relevant practical documentation
|
||||
on the license by putting the OFL-FAQ in your package.
|
||||
7.6 If you wish, you can use the OFL Graphics on your web page.
|
||||
|
||||
That's all. If you have any more questions please get in touch with us.

|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
