Various people have been in touch with upstream and as a result upstream have promised to release ParaType Sans under the OFL as well. So please wait for that. We will package the font and work to get in into the archive as a team when it comes out under a community-recognized license. We certainly don't want to encourage every foundry to release under their own project-and-organisation-specific license... It would have to go through license checks too. But we want to continue advocate (as is already happening in this case) their use of already established models. > BR, > Dima Cheers, -- Nicolas Spalinger, NRSI volunteer Debian/Ubuntu font teams / OpenFontLibrary http://planet.open-fonts.org
