Hello, I'd like to sell my e-book done in ePub format, so this means I will distribuite the font into the e-book it self. You can simple unzip an ePub file and recoved text, cover image and fonts, so, in this case, Liberation Serif fonts. I read the license here: https://fedorahosted.org/liberation-fonts/
but I didn't understand exactly If I can use the Liberation fonts into the ePub file and I can sell my ePub e-book. If I need a special request to Red Hat or not. I wrote them and they told me to ask here so I did.
Is enough to specify in the copyright e-book page that I used Liberation fonts freely donwloadable from https://fedorahosted.org/liberation-fonts/ or it's not needed because information are into the file itself?
If I do (on my Linux system):
otfinfo -i /usr/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf
I get:
