For resiliency testing of the font-embedding provisions in ODF, I am going to use the M+ font faces which are under a BSD-equivalent license.

There are Asian code points and others though. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Rob Weir [mailto:robw...@apache.org] Sent: Friday, December 30, 2011 12:20 To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org; p...@apache.org Subject: Re: Replacement for Liberation Fonts (was Re: Font related questions) On Fri, Dec 30, 2011 at 2:57 PM, Pedro Giffuni <p...@apache.org> wrote: > Hi; > > Looking around the net it looks like Google is not happy > about GPLd fonts either so they now have a replacement > to the so-called Liberation fonts: > > http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/download-and-use-the-new-chrome-os-fonts-in-ubuntu/ > > http://gsdview.appspot.com/chromeos-localmirror/distfiles/croscorefonts-1.21.0.tar.gz > > Apparently they are improved versions of the Liberation > fonts, which Redhat what licensed from the same designers. > > Unlike the droid fonts, these are actually under SIL's > OFL, which is -I think- weak copyleft, so we should be > able to include them as binaries in the release. > There is an open JIRA issue with legal-discuss on the OFL license.
