Add Open Font License #1

Closed eliheuer closed 5 years ago

eliheuer commented 5 years ago

Both Source Code Pro and IBM Plex Mono use the Open Font License.

This repo could include a license so others can fork it and make modifications. I suggest using the OFL.

BoldMonday commented 5 years ago

Correction: Haskplex must be released under the OFL.

Article 5 of the OFL supplied with IBM Plex states:

5) The Font Software, modified or unmodified, in part or in whole,
must be distributed entirely under this license, and must not be
distributed under any other license. The requirement for fonts to
remain under this license does not apply to any document created
using the Font Software.

@BoldMonday Thanks! I do know that, I just didn't want this issues to seem too demanding. :^)

huytd commented 5 years ago

Thanks guys! I did think about it but not sure which license to use at first. I'll update the license.

BoldMonday commented 5 years ago

Perhaps it is a good idea to indulge yourself in these matters first before you start releasing work from others.

The current license states: Copyright © 2017 Huy Tran. with Reserved Font Name "Haskplex"

  1. You are not allowed to remove the original copyright statements about IBM Plex.
  2. You did not create Haskplex in 2017.

Please check the OFL FAQ on how to create a valid license: https://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=OFL-FAQ_web#a8c83d32
