Wrong license for Liberation Mono? #172

Closed brezniczky closed 3 years ago

brezniczky commented 3 years ago

Hi,

I had little time to double check on this, so I might be talking rubbish, but I suppose that the Open Fonts License 1.1 is the currently governing one for Liberation Mono.

What I found here seems like a GPL v2 https://github.com/chrissimpkins/codeface/blob/master/fonts/liberation-mono/license.txt

If I am correct, an adequate replacement could be https://github.com/liberationfonts/liberation-fonts/blob/master/LICENSE

so it's possibly a quick thing, but might affect other items in the liberation family.

As I found Wikipedia might explain what's going on:

'License: SIL Open Font License (version 2 onwards) GPL v2 with some exceptions (older versions)[1]'

Best,

Janos

Thank you very much for pointing this out Janos! It looks like we have Liberation Mono v1.04 in this repository and it must have been under a different license. It looks like the latest release is https://github.com/liberationfonts/liberation-fonts/releases/tag/2.1.1 which is under SIL OFL.

Let's update the fonts and license!
