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!
