I want to create a unicode truetype font based on the Unicode code charts to
distribute them under GPL (and package them for Debian). I am not sure whether
I can do this or not since the PDF files include the following sentence under
"Terms of use":
"You may freely use these code charts for pe

What do you mean by "using them as a starting point to build a new font?" If
you mean that you will look at the glyphs to have shape ideas, I think that
is find. If you mean extract the shapes from the PDF to put them in your
font with little modifications, I highly doubt it. The Unicode charts ar

Well, I am trying to have
What if I have a copy with no changes at all, and want to distribute it
linked against GPM? I have to make a change (so it's a "modified Vim")?
Linking against GPM counts as making a change in the program as a whole.
So that does not raise an issue.
However, one thing that should be note
