| ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| SIL OPEN FONT LICENSE Version 1.1 - 26 February 2007 |
| ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| 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. |
| DEFINITIONS |
| 'Font Software' refers to the set of files released by the Copyright |
| Holder(s) under this license and clearly marked as such. This may |
| include source files, build scripts and documentation. |
| 'Reserved Font Name' refers to any names specified as such after the |
| copyright statement(s). |
| 'Original Version' refers to the collection of Font Software components as |
| distributed by the Copyright Holder(s). |
| 'Modified Version' refers to any derivative made by adding to, deleting, |
| or substituting -- in part or in whole -- any of the components of the |
| Original Version, by changing formats or by porting the Font Software to a |
| new environment. |
| 'Author' refers to any designer, engineer, programmer, technical |
| writer or other person who contributed to the Font Software. |
| PERMISSION & CONDITIONS |

| 1) Neither the Font Software nor any of its individual components, |
| in Original or Modified Versions, may be sold by itself. |
| 2) Original or Modified Versions of the Font Software may be bundled, |

| contains the above copyright notice and this license. These can be |
| included either as stand-alone text files, human-readable headers or |
| in the appropriate machine-readable metadata fields within text or |
| binary files as long as those fields can be easily viewed by the user. |
| 3) No Modified Version of the Font Software may use the Reserved Font |
| Name(s) unless explicit written permission is granted by the corresponding |
| Copyright Holder. This restriction only applies to the primary font name as |
| presented to the users. |
| 4) The name(s) of the Copyright Holder(s) or the Author(s) of the Font |
| Software shall not be used to promote, endorse or advertise any |

| permission. |
| 5) The Font Software, modified or unmodified, in part or in whole, |
| must be distributed entirely under this license, and must not be |
| distributed under any other license. The requirement for fonts to |

The SIL Open Font License (or OFL in short) is a free and open source license designed for fonts by SIL International for use with many of their Unicode fonts, including Gentium Plus, Charis SIL, and Andika.[4] The Open Font License was first released in November 2005, six months after the GPL Font exception was released.
The license is considered free by the Free Software Foundation, which states that a simple hello world program is enough to satisfy the license's requirement that fonts using the license be distributed with computer software when selling them.[2] The Debian project agrees.[1]
Terms[edit]
The Open Font License is a free software license, and as such permits the fonts to be used, modified, and distributed freely (so long as the resulting fonts remain under the Open Font License). Logitech setpoint download 64-bit. However, the copyright holder may declare the font's name as being a 'Reserved Font Name', which modified versions then cannot bear (this includes subsetting for web fonts). The License permits covered fonts to be freely embedded in documents under any terms, but it requires that fonts be packaged with software if they are sold.Open-source fonts are a popular choice among designers. Most open-source fonts utilize the Open Font License (or OFL) by SIL international. The only stipulation is that anyone cannot charge others to use them.
Intention[edit]
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.
