What gives? + +Bitstream is giving away these fonts, but wishes to ensure its +competitors can't just drop the fonts as is into a font sale system +and sell them as is. It seems fair that if Bitstream can't make money +from the Bitstream Vera fonts, their competitors should not be able to +do so either. You can sell the fonts as part of any software package, +however. + +2. I want to package these fonts separately for distribution and +sale as part of a larger software package or system. Can I do so? + +Yes. A RPM or Debian package is a "larger software package" to begin +with, and you aren't selling them independently by themselves. +See 1. above. + +3. Are derivative works allowed? +Yes! + +4. Can I change or add to the font(s)? +Yes, but you must change the name(s) of the font(s). + +5. Under what terms are derivative works allowed? + +You must change the name(s) of the fonts. This is to ensure the +quality of the fonts, both to protect Bitstream and Gnome. We want to +ensure that if an application has opened a font specifically of these +names, it gets what it expects (though of course, using fontconfig, +substitutions could still could have occurred during font +opening). You must include the Bitstream copyright. Additional +copyrights can be added, as per copyright law. Happy Font Hacking! + +6. If I have improvements for Bitstream Vera, is it possible they might get +adopted in future versions? + +Yes. The contract between the Gnome Foundation and Bitstream has +provisions for working with Bitstream to ensure quality additions to +the Bitstream Vera font family. Please contact us if you have such +additions. Note, that in general, we will want such additions for the +entire family, not just a single font, and that you'll have to keep +both Gnome and Jim Lyles, Vera's designer, happy! To make sense to add +glyphs to the font, they must be stylistically in keeping with Vera's +design. Vera cannot become a "ransom note" font. Jim Lyles will be +providing a document describing the design elements used in Vera, as a +guide and aid for people interested in contributing to Vera. + +7. I want to sell a software package that uses these fonts: Can I do so? + +Sure. Bundle the fonts with your software and sell your software +with the fonts. That is the intent of the copyright. + +8. If applications have built the names "Bitstream Vera" into them, +can I override this somehow to use fonts of my choosing? + +This depends on exact details of the software. Most open source +systems and software (e.g., Gnome, KDE, etc.) are now converting to +use fontconfig (see www.fontconfig.org) to handle font configuration, +selection and substitution; it has provisions for overriding font +names and subsituting alternatives. An example is provided by the +supplied local.conf file, which chooses the family Bitstream Vera for +"sans", "serif" and "monospace". Other software (e.g., the XFree86 +core server) has other mechanisms for font substitution. + +Show details Hide details + +Change log +r2011 by mark.nickel on Mar 3, 2011 Diff + +Majority of Multi-Line text editing is in +the commit.
