| Bitstream Vera Fonts Copyright |
| |
| The fonts have a generous copyright, allowing derivative works (as |
| long as "Bitstream" or "Vera" are not in the names), and full |
| redistribution (so long as they are not *sold* by themselves). They |
| can be be bundled, redistributed and sold with any software. |
| |
| The fonts are distributed under the following copyright: |

| |
| Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining |
| a copy of the fonts accompanying this license ("Fonts") and associated |
| documentation files (the "Font Software"), to reproduce and distribute |
| the Font Software, including without limitation the rights to use, |
| copy, merge, publish, distribute, and/or sell copies of the Font |
| Software, and to permit persons to whom the Font Software is furnished |
| to do so, subject to the following conditions: |
| |
| The above copyright and trademark notices and this permission notice |
| shall be included in all copies of one or more of the Font Software |
| typefaces. |
| |
| The Font Software may be modified, altered, or added to, and in |
| particular the designs of glyphs or characters in the Fonts may be |
| modified and additional glyphs or characters may be added to the |
| Fonts, only if the fonts are renamed to names not containing either |
| the words "Bitstream" or the word "Vera". |
| |
| This License becomes null and void to the extent applicable to Fonts |
| or Font Software that has been modified and is distributed under the |
| "Bitstream Vera" names. |
| |
| The Font Software may be sold as part of a larger software package but |
| no copy of one or more of the Font Software typefaces may be sold by |

| |
| Copyright FAQ |
| ============= |
| |
| 1. I don't understand the resale restriction... What gives? |
| |
| Bitstream is giving away these fonts, but wishes to ensure its |
| competitors can't just drop the fonts as is into a font sale system |
| and sell them as is. It seems fair that if Bitstream can't make money |
| from the Bitstream Vera fonts, their competitors should not be able to |
| do so either. You can sell the fonts as part of any software package, |
| however. |
| |
| 2. I want to package these fonts separately for distribution and |
| sale as part of a larger software package or 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 www.fontconfig.org) to 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. |
