Licensing compliance

[abl]

Hi! It looks like you're distributing modified fonts. Some of them have licensing requirements that appear to not be met. A (non-exhaustive) list follows.

Anonymous (renamed to Anonymice?):
OFL - a copy of the copyright+license has to be included with all distributions. Modifications/originals must be released under the OFL.

Droid Sans:
Apache v2.0 - a copy of the copyright+license has to be included with all distributions.

Liberation (renamed to Literation?):
I'm assuming you've got a recent version, which would be under the OFL - old versions are under the GPL.

PragmataPro:
PragmataPro is not free software and the author hasn't ever made it available in a particularly permissive form. Also worth noting - you appear to have an older (buggy) version of PragmataPro which is missing certain ligatures added in 0.820.

I will give you some time to respond but I will close this issue if no response.

Thanks

[abl]

Looks great, thanks!

[ryanoasis]

@abl No probem. Thank you. I will try to be more vigilant with future fonts

Does this project not need to be under the OFL because the fonts are?

[ryanoasis]

@Vaelatern As far as I understand it doesn't as all the code used to patch the fonts is licensed under MIT and each fonts license is provided per each font's relevant folder.

Most of the fonts are licensed under the SIL Open Font License which allows the fonts to be used, modified, and distributed. The main compliance issue we had before was the reserved font name and original license not being included.

Okay I found this which is not exactly the same thing:

The requirement for fonts to remain under this license does not apply to any document created using the fonts or their derivatives.

Can I ask the reason for your question?

[Vaelatern]

There is an attempt to package these for Void Linux, and we would like to make sure we don't make a mistake with the license and its terms (such as making sure the relevnt licenses get in to the final product).

[ryanoasis]

@Vaelatern Ah okay. Well we have to confirm licenses again. Relevant issue #266

[ryanoasis]

FYI the project LICENSE itself has also recently been updated. I'm no expert and it's a bit complicated but basically there are many differing licensed source files in this repo so overall this project is no longer licensed under MIT (though individual source files are).
