Subject: URW++ making original 35 fonts available under LPPL
|

|
I am forwarding the message below on behalf of Peter Rosenfeld, Managing
|
||
|
|
Director of URW++, who has kindly agreed to make the basic 35 PostScript
|
||
|
|
fonts also available under the LPPL. At his request, I'll be
|
||
|
|
disseminating the information throughout the TeX community.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Many thanks to Dr. Rosenfeld!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Many thanks are also due to Karl Berry, TUG President, for his unswerving
|
||
|
|
support and advice and Bogus\{}aw Jackowski, lead TeX Gyre developer,
|
||
|
|
for pushing the issue.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Best,
|
||
|
|
Jerzy

Subject: URW++ original 35 fonts available under LPPL
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To whom it may concern,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Many years ago, URW++ Design and Development Inc. released their
|
||
|
|
Type 1 implementations of the basic 35 PostScript fonts under the
|
||
|
|
GNU General Public License and the Aladdin Ghostscript Free Public
|
||
|
|
License.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We now additionally release them under the LaTeX Project Public License
|
||
|
|
(http://www.latex-project.org/lppl), either version 1 or (at your
|
||
|
|
option) any later version.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Of course, this additional licensing applies to the original URW++
|
||
|
|
material, not any subsequent changes and additions made by other
|
||
|
|
parties.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The original font files are widely available, for instance as part of
|
||
|
|
the Ghostscript 4.00 release, and therefore we are not releasing any new
|
||
|
|
font files. Those interested can replace the license terms in those
|
||
|
|
original files accordingly. Responsibility for ensuring that no
|
||
|
|
material is incorrectly licensed remains with the distributor, as
|
||
|
|
always.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We hope this additional licensing will make our fonts even more widely
|
||
|
|
available and usable in the free software community, such as the TeX
|
||
|
|
Gyre Project.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sincerely,
|
||
|
|
Peter Rosenfeld (Managing Director, URW++)
