third_party library question #258

Open jdonenine opened 7 years ago

jdonenine commented 7 years ago

In the "third_party" package you list two libraries: font_crunch and spiro. font_crunch is an Apache licensed tool, but spiro is GPL, and that is causing issues for getting approval from our legal department to use libraries that include roboto.

I was wondering if you could confirm for how exactly spiro is used in Roboto? Is it purely used as a build time tool and none of it is distributed with the Roboto fonts themselves?

Thanks.
