You need to make that much clearer on the OFLB font-submission [0]
page. I went to upload a font of my own creation, but there was no
choice of what license to apply to it. Only *after* it was published
did i see that the system was attributing a public domain license --
and i could not change it to any of the CC licenses: i got a dropdown
list consisting of one choice: "Public Domain". I'm not a commercial
font developer, and i've already released this font elsewhere with
free licensing. But i'd rather use one a license that promotes
freedom directly (GPL or OFL or some CC shareAlike) than just use PD.
The result was that i deleted my font from the OFLB, which is sad,
because i'd like to see this project take off.
