Re: [Pkg-fonts-devel] STIX Fonts Beta Test Version Ready for Download
My reading of this says that any modified version cannot be called STIX or any confusingly similar name. You may add or change characters. You may remove characters but if you do so you must note that the font does not contain the full set of characters that STIX had. Well that is at least my reading of the intent. The actual wording should be fixed, but baring the naming clause being a bit too broad, the license seems to be intended to be DFSG-free. So lets work on fixing the wording.
