For further information, contact: +fonts at gnome dot org. + +Copyright FAQ +============= + + 1. I don't understand the resale restriction... What gives? + + Bitstream is giving away these fonts, but wishes to ensure its + competitors can't just drop the fonts as is into a font sale system + and sell them as is. It seems fair that if Bitstream can't make money + from the Bitstream Vera fonts, their competitors should not be able to + do so either. You can sell the fonts as part of any software package, + however. + + 2. I want to package these fonts separately for distribution and + sale as part of a larger software package or system. Can I do so? + + Yes. A RPM or Debian package is a "larger software package" to begin + with, and you aren't selling them independently by themselves. + See 1. above. + + 3. Are derivative works allowed? + Yes! + + 4. Can I change or add to the font(s)? + Yes, but you must change the name(s) of the font(s). + + 5. Under what terms are derivative works allowed? + + You must change the name(s) of the fonts. This is to ensure the + quality of the fonts, both to protect Bitstream and Gnome. We want to + ensure that if an application has opened a font specifically of these + names, it gets what it expects (though of course, using fontconfig, + substitutions could still could have occurred during font + opening). You must include the Bitstream copyright. Additional + copyrights can be added, as per copyright law. Happy Font Hacking! + + 6. If I have improvements for Bitstream Vera, is it possible they might get + adopted in future versions? + + Yes. The contract between the Gnome Foundation and Bitstream has + provisions for working with Bitstream to ensure quality additions to + the Bitstream Vera font family. Please contact us if you have such + additions. Note, that in general, we will want such additions for the + entire family, not just a single font, and that you'll have to keep + both Gnome and Jim Lyles, Vera's designer, happy! To make sense to add + glyphs to the font, they must be stylistically in keeping with Vera's + design. Vera cannot become a "ransom note" font. Jim Lyles will be + providing a document describing the design elements used in Vera, as a + guide and aid for people interested in contributing to Vera. + + 7. I want to sell a software package that uses these fonts: Can I do so? + + Sure. Bundle the fonts with your software and sell your software + with the fonts. That is the intent of the copyright. + + 8. If applications have built the names "Bitstream Vera" into them, + can I override this somehow to use fonts of my choosing? + + This depends on exact details of the software. Most open source + systems and software (e.g., Gnome, KDE, etc.) are now converting to + use fontconfig (see www.fontconfig.org) to handle font configuration, + selection and substitution; it has provisions for overriding font + names and subsituting alternatives. An example is provided by the + supplied local.conf file, which chooses the family Bitstream Vera for + "sans", "serif" and "monospace". Other software (e.g., the XFree86 + core server) has other mechanisms for font substitution. + |
