Hi,
Fedora Linux distribution considered packaging Your Mukti fontset,
but we found out that the license is GPLv2+, which we consider as
excellent for software but not for fonts.
The problem we see is that when you embed the font inside PDF file
then the whole document has to be licensed as a GPLv2+ too. This is
thought to be controversial.
Do you think it can be possible to change the license to e.g. 'GPLv2+
+ Font Exception'? The Exception would be this one:
http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl-faq.html#FontException
Which just says that just embedding the font does not mean that you
have to license your file (e.g. book) as GPLv2+ too.
Let me know whay you think.
Looking forward to your reply.
