Note that STIX has adopted the SIL Open Font license, as they stated on March 11, 2008:
http://www.stixfonts.org/news.html "The STI Pub Group has accepted the SIL Open Font License as the license to be used for the production release. The copyright statement is being reviewed by our attorney and the final license text will be released as soon as that review is completed." Also from their FAQ (http://www.stixfonts.org/STIXfaq.html): "Q. The terms of the license do not appear to allow modification of parts of the fonts that are not the glyphs, including tables or the README.txt. Will the final license be fully "open"? A. The STIPub Group plans to release the production version of the fonts under the SIL Open Font License. We do request that, if any changes are made, these be documented fully, the font names changed, and the identity of the person or organization responsible for the modification be included in the documentation. The copyright holder should be informed of any modifications, and may choose to incorporate contributed modifications into the standard version. " Seems that SIL OFL is appropriate for free repo: http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=OFL "The OFL meets the specific needs of typographic design and engineering as well as the gold standards of the FLOSS (Free/Libre and Open Source Software) community, namely the cultural values and guidelines from the FSF 1, the Debian Free Software Guidelines2, as well as the Open Source Definition3. It draws inspiration from some concepts and elements found in other free and open licenses, but we believe our improvements in the specific area of fonts will make the licensing model work better than other models currently in use." "DFSG compatibility The OFL complies with the Debian Free Software Guidelines: reselling: DFSG #1 source code redistribution: DFSG #2 derivatives: DFSG #3 "compromise" clause permitting name change: DFSG #4 (this is absolutely essential for font derivatives for artistic integrity and anti-collision purposes) no discrimination against people/groups: DFSG #5 no discrimination against fields of endeavour: DFSG #6 license distribution: DFSG #7 non-Debian specific: DFSG #8 no contamination of other software: DFSG #9 Note that various font families under OFL have been accepted in the main archive of Debian (as well as Ubuntu) by the ftp-masters." -- Best Regards, Aleksander Adamowski http://olo.org.pl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
