Hello Michael,
I hope you still remember that I am one of the (apparently very few)
people who paid for Everson Mono. That was more than ten years ago.

I find the term "non-free" to smack of élitism and a view that commerce is
undesirable. And I'm not even very good at being a merchant.
Instead of criticising a term, would you mind proposing a different term?
It’s much simpler, for me, to stick to an automated system that guarantees
freedom.
Indeed? Let us weep for those benighted folks who shackled themselves to the
world of pecuniary transaction by choosing to render a shareware fee for
Everson Mono....
Nobody has to weep for me. I actually haven't used Everson Mono much,
I'm not even sure whether I ever used it, but at the time I found the
idea that somebody was working on a font that covered Unicode really
worthy of support.
Regards, Martin.
