However, I bet that being one of most advanced font makers, ParaType will want to be the exclusive copyright holder in this case. Anyway, I wrote them an email where asked to consider using SIL OFL (which seem was used as base - PT Sans & Serif fonts license looks as excellent translation of the OFL in fact), or provide a pointer to English variant of the license at least. In case of negative result I think it would be good to import ParaType Open License in native (Russian) language. -- Cheers, Mishka ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ pkgsrc-wip-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pkgsrc-wip-discuss
