Bug#512638: [Fwd: Re: [Open Font Library] jura light font]

[Daniel Johnson <il.basso.buffo@gmail.com>]

I see in the subject line of the Debian bug for Jura
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=512638) that it is
listed as a monospace font; but this is not the case.  It's a
variable-width sans font originally inspired by some monospace glyphs.

The most recent version of Jura available on openfontlibrary.org
clarifies the licensing issues.  After some discussion with Steve
White (maintainer of FreeFont) and Karl Berry, I've decided that the
Kayah Li glyph range is licensed GPLv3 (since these glyphs were lifted
from work I did for FreeMono) and the remainder is licensed under the
OFL.  I hope this doesn't turn out to be too confusing for the Debian
community guidelines.  If so, I could give up and dual-license the
whole thing.

The latest version on openfontlibrary.org includes Latin-1, Latin-2,
and Cyrillic glyphs.  I'll probably add some more accented characters
in the future, and I may introduce a Greek range.  Any other glyphs I
add to the font will probably be on an as-requested basis.

Regards,

Daniel
