Hi, It's really up to the designers to choose the appropriate license that makes sense to them but we recommend the OFL as indicated on the wiki: http://openfontlibrary.org/wiki/Font_Licensing I'd also recommend getting the designer to read through the OFL FAQ. As for recommendations of the structure of the font tarball itsefl there's a template here: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~fonts/open-font-design-resources/foo-open-font-sources/files Granted it's a rather exhaustive template (!), not everything might be available or even needed... but the more extended font sources the author of Miraculus can release, the better. One very important thing is to make sure that the metadata fields (in the Name table) are properly filled in and correspond to what is intended and coherent with the other tarball files. Then when you upload, an image specimen is also very useful alongside the licensing choice and the description tags. Thanks for your advocacy work in favor of open fonts!
