Font license question

[Christopher Meng]

Hi,

Because Linux world has a lack of CJK fonts, a famous company in China
has released 4 free fonts for people for a long time.

Unfortunately, I'm not a lawyer, and these fonts are not licensed
under OFL or other licenses, so I inquired an English license file and
pasted it to:

I hope some guys can help me.

Thanks.


Yours sincerely,

Items 1 and 7 under "Interpretation and description of
the types of authorization" seem problematic.

Hi,

Have you noticed the free fonts section? There are 4 free fonts, free for
charge of commercial release.

Did you mean the item1/7 under the list of authorization? It is useful for
paid fonts.

Thanks.

So you're saying that none of the text under:

  Interpretation and description of the types of authorization:
  对授权类型的解释说明：

(pages 3-4)

applies to those four "free fonts" FZHei,FZShuSong, FZFangSong, and FZKai (noted
on p. 2)?

This is not clear to me from the English text in this document.

Ok.

I'll ask lawyers in Founder.

If I have any news, I'll post here ASAP.

Thanks!
