111 1. I don't understand the resale restriction... What gives?
113 Bitstream is giving away these fonts, but wishes to ensure its
114 competitors can't just drop the fonts as is into a font sale system
115 and sell them as is. It seems fair that if Bitstream can't make money
116 from the Bitstream Vera fonts, their competitors should not be able to
117 do so either. You can sell the fonts as part of any software package,
120 2. I want to package these fonts separately for distribution and
121 sale as part of a larger software package or system. Can I do so?
123 Yes. A RPM or Debian package is a "larger software package" to begin
124 with, and you aren't selling them independently by themselves.
127 3. Are derivative works allowed?
130 4. Can I change or add to the font(s)?
131 Yes, but you must change the name(s) of the font(s).
133 5. Under what terms are derivative works allowed?
135 You must change the name(s) of the fonts. This is to ensure the
136 quality of the fonts, both to protect Bitstream and Gnome. We want to
137 ensure that if an application has opened a font specifically of these
138 names, it gets what it expects (though of course, using fontconfig,
139 substitutions could still could have occurred during font
140 opening). You must include the Bitstream copyright. Additional
141 copyrights can be added, as per copyright law. Happy Font Hacking!
143 6. If I have improvements for Bitstream Vera, is it possible they might get
144 adopted in future versions?
146 Yes. The contract between the Gnome Foundation and Bitstream has
147 provisions for working with Bitstream to ensure quality additions to
148 the Bitstream Vera font family. Please contact us if you have such
149 additions. Note, that in general, we will want such additions for the
150 entire family, not just a single font, and that you'll have to keep
151 both Gnome and Jim Lyles, Vera's designer, happy! To make sense to add
152 glyphs to the font, they must be stylistically in keeping with Vera's
153 design. Vera cannot become a "ransom note" font. Jim Lyles will be
154 providing a document describing the design elements used in Vera, as a
155 guide and aid for people interested in contributing to Vera.
157 7. I want to sell a software package that uses these fonts: Can I do so?
159 Sure. Bundle the fonts with your software and sell your software
160 with the fonts. That is the intent of the copyright.
162 8. If applications have built the names "Bitstream Vera" into them,
163 can I override this somehow to use fonts of my choosing?
165 This depends on exact details of the software. Most open source
166 systems and software (e.g., Gnome, KDE, etc.) are now converting to
167 use fontconfig (see www.fontconfig.org) to handle font configuration,
168 selection and substitution; it has provisions for overriding font
169 names and subsituting alternatives. An example is provided by the
170 supplied local.conf file, which chooses the family Bitstream Vera for
171 "sans", "serif" and "monospace". Other software (e.g., the XFree86
172 core server) has other mechanisms for font substitution.
