Previously you told Philip that we can "use" any of your fonts, but that does not cover the right to "redistribute" them. We need you to properly licence your fonts, or else we cannot make them part of our system. Please take a moment to read this slightly longer email. On your website, you state that we "may not Sell or Distribute my Fonts for profit or alter the font file(s) [.ttf .fon] in any way without asking me first." This makes it impossible for us to put your fonts into our archive and give easy access to hundreds of thousands of users, because we are a Free software project and *everything* we distribute has to be Free itself, allowing people - to distribute your fonts further, without asking you - to create new fonts, based on your fonts, without asking you - to make changes to your fonts, provided those changes are noted and the original fonts are still attributed to you. You can find out more about our requirements here: http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines Let's assume for a minute that you'd like for us to be able to distribute your fonts. The easiest and most sensible way to achieve this would be to use an existing licence, such as http://www.opensource.org/licenses/artistic-license-2.0.php and make your work publicly available under this licence; limiting the licence to our project does not work. The advantage of such a licence is that it's been scruitinised by lawyers and is being used all over the place. I also release all of my software with this licence. Why would you want to do this? Well, the best answer is that it'll help your work grow and reach people you wouldn't otherwise reach. This means you'll get many more users and your name will be carried further. It's also highly likely that you will get feedback and patches, proposals for changes, and bug reports. There are also other benefits. We'd also be happy to give your more information, or answer any questions. Or you could have a look at Eric S. Raymond's book _The Cathedral and The Bazaar_, if you'd prefer that. We would really like to be able to redistribute your amazing font collection! I am hoping to be able to work with you on this. I can also call you at +1.607.6475726 (I got that from aenigmafonts.com whois information) if you'd prefer to talk about this on the phone. Thank you for your time! And I am looking forward to your reply! -- .''`. martin f. krafft : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems echo '[dO%O+38%O+PO/d0<0]Fi22os0CC4BA64E418CE7l0xAP' | dc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkhrIfcACgkQIgvIgzMMSnWW3QCffhuGltzo3zljfGd91cRLNK1b ppgAnRG31iulepoeAikv2LTj0Pp/rveE =x36H -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- from: martin f krafft to: Brian Kent cc: Philip Newborough date: Sat, Jul 5, 2008 at 12:16 PM subject: Re: Redistribution of your Aenigma fonts Message-ID: <20080705111604.GC13711@piper.oerlikon.madduck.net> Hi Brian, thanks for your reply, and sorry that this issue keeps dragging on... also sprach Brian Kent [2008.07.04.2109 +0200]: > Yes, you can redistribute any of my fonts.
