The site currently has options for "public domain" and "open font license," and I recommend using the OFL for any fonts you have made :-) The fonts that are not allowed are those that are not commercially modifiable or redistributable. The following definitions explain what the free culture movement means by "free software" or "free culture": http://freedomdefined.org/Definition http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html For fonts with a license other than PD or OFL, make sure to explain the precise terms of the license in the font description :-) -- Regards, Dave ___ Openfontlibrary mailing list Openfontlibrary@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/openfontlibrary

I'm not sure about this; if the OFLB is to showcase the best free software fonts, I think it ought to accept anything with a free software license; we ought to recommend OFL, but not require it. The site currently isn't set up for anything else, but people just upload fonts and write a notice in the description detailing the license. Given the site is going to get revamped soon this is fine :-) (PD is problematic and going to be replaced by CC-0 soon too.)

[Openfontlibrary] Font submissions
Good Day All I need clarification on what fonts can be uploaded to the library. My personal collection is rather large and I'm sure that I can contribute but need to know what, other than copyrighted (commercial) or restricted licencing fonts, are not allowed.
