Font Licensing. I would be interested in exploring a somewhat permissive license that is more restrictive than SIL. In particular, i would be interested in incorporating elements of firstdonoharm.dev . What licenses have people been impressed or intrigued by? (doesn't have to have an ethical stance)

Please boost.

THE YEAR IS 2023:-

Developers have yet to realise they can load websites faster by including popular #fonts with #browsers.

Not only that, they can help end the seedy, #massSurveillance business of the #CDN and help our #environment with less bandwidth throughput requirements.

Who knew!?

Maybe someone can include @torproject in this because we think they block us.

A potentially important case for testing whether fonts-as-software can protect a type designer’s work. (via @DunwichType): https://slate.com/technology/2023/01/zazzle-copyright-font-blooming-elegant.html #FontIndustry #CopyrightLaw #FontLicensing #Typography

Priti Patel has made a hateful xenophobic christmas card (which i am not going to directly link to) and it uses the font Anime Ace 2.0; and this is why you should consider using a "Do No Harm" licence.

Katy Nelson explores this a bit in their AIGA article: https://eyeondesign.aiga.org/some-type-foundries-want-to-restrict-usage-of-their-fonts-on-ethical-grounds-will-it-work/
