system. Can I do so?
Yes. A RPM or Debian package is a "larger
software package" to begin
with, and you aren't selling them
independently by themselves.
See 1. above.
3. Are derivative works allowed?
Yes!
4. Can I change or add to the font(s)?
Yes, but you must change the name(s) of the
font(s).
5. Under what terms are derivative works allowed?
You must change the name(s) of the fonts.
This is to ensure the
quality of the fonts, both to protect Bitstream
and Gnome. We want to
ensure that if an application has opened a
font specifically of these
names, it gets what it expects (though of
course, using fontconfig,
substitutions could still could have occurred
during font
opening). You must include the Bitstream
copyright. Additional
copyrights can be added, as per copyright law.
Happy Font Hacking!
6. If I have improvements for Bitstream Vera, is it
possible they might get
adopted in future versions?
Yes. The contract between the Gnome
Foundation and Bitstream has
provisions for working with Bitstream to ensure
quality additions to
the Bitstream Vera font family. Please contact
us if you have such
additions. Note, that in general, we will want
such additions for the
entire family, not just a single font, and that
you'll have to keep
both Gnome and Jim Lyles, Vera's designer,
happy! To make sense to add
glyphs to the font, they must be stylistically in
keeping with Vera's
design. Vera cannot become a "ransom note"
font. Jim Lyles will be
providing a document describing the design
elements used in Vera, as a
guide and aid for people interested in
contributing to Vera.
7. I want to sell a software package that uses these
fonts: Can I do so?
Sure. Bundle the fonts with your software and
sell your software
with the fonts. That is the intent of the
copyright.
8. If applications have built the names "Bitstream
Vera" into them,
can I override this somehow to use fonts of my
choosing?
This depends on exact details of the software.
Most open source
systems and software (e.g., Gnome, KDE, etc.)
are now converting to
use fontconfig (see
handle font configuration,
selection and substitution; it has provisions for
overriding font
names and subsituting alternatives. An
example is provided by the
supplied local.conf file, which chooses the
family Bitstream Vera for
"sans", "serif" and "monospace". Other
software (e.g., the XFree86
core server) has other mechanisms for font
substitution.
