Font licencing
I create a subroutine used in type1 font. Do you think that with
licence is suitable.
In want:
o free copy even in commercial font
o free modification even in commercial closed font
o I don't want final users of thefont, the document writers, put a
credit line in thier document :-). Even in pdf that is a binary format
or word. I think first exeption address this issue
o I accept lack of documentation if the copyright is included in text
form in the ps file
