However, I would like to bring a related discussion:
- Could we copy glyphs from GPL font like WenQuanYi Micro Hei and reuse in
Wine fonts?
- Could we copy glyphs from Apache license font like Adobe Source Han Sans
and reuse in Wine fonts?
Anyone has comment on the above questions please? And one more: Could we copy glyphs from symbola font and reuse in Wine fonts? Symbola font is "offered free for any use", according to its official page: http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/
GPL and Apache licenses are not compatible with LGPL. Whether the distinction is meaningful for fonts is debatable, but I think it's better to follow the same guidelines as the rest of the code.
The Symbola license looks OK, though you'd of course need to give proper credit even if not required.
It's also not clear that copying the glyphs is the right approach, as opposed to for instance setting up font replacements.
