Fonts lisence?

[Artem13327]

As I see your application contains custom fonts, so I have a question about the licenses of this fonts.

Hello, it's a font called Nunito, avaible for free here : https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Nunito

@sosauce I'm not a lawyer, but it seems you are violating the license of this font.

[sosauce]

Why ? It is stated on Google Fonts :

You can use them in your products & projects – print or digital, commercial or otherwise.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple.

Why ?

I’ll say it again, I’m not a lawyer and I could have misunderstood the license.

As I see this font is licensed under the Open Font License. And there is this license in the font repository (https://github.com/googlefonts/nunito/blob/main/OFL.txt) and presumably you violated paragraph 2.

[sosauce]

mhmmm, I'll add a text file then

[Artem13327]

And almost at the end of the license there is an interesting clause, but I don’t know exactly how to interpret it, I hope you have read the license

There is also a second font in CuteCalc, what about that?

2) Original or Modified Versions of the Font Software may be bundled, redistributed and/or sold with any software, provided that each copy contains the above copyright notice and this license. These can be included either as stand-alone text files, human-readable headers or in the appropriate machine-readable metadata fields within text or binary files as long as those fields can be easily viewed by the user.

You simply need to download this license file, put in in your repository, and mention in the README that you're using Nunito under the SIL, under free personal non-commercial use.

See, technically, because you have the font files in your repo, you are technically redistributing the fonts. This is perfectly allowed, but you do need to also have the SIL OFL license file somewhere in your repo

Re-open if needed

I think you have seen in some programs such a thing as "Open source software licenses", maybe you can do something similar?

Okay 👍
