--- Comment #12 from Paul Sladen fedora@paul.sladen.org --- @spot: I didn't see this bug report before this evening. My apologies on behalf of the Ubuntu project. Anyone is most welcome to ping me directly, using any of the normal methods.
Yes, as Kevin Kofler has noted the "Propagate" wording arrived directly at the suggestion of somebody extremely familiar with the GPLv3 drafting. For the ease of anyone wanting to follow, a diff verses SIL OFL 1.1 is here:
http://font.ubuntu.com/ufl/ofl-1.1-ufl-1.0.diff.html
UFL-1.0 in "Preamble" has "allows the licensed fonts to be used, studied, modified and redistributed freely"
GPLv3 in "Basic Permissions" has "You may make, run and propagate"
My understanding of the "executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy." (identical in GPLv3 and UFL-1.0) is to clearly differentiate local activities from intentional distribution (the propagation).
Those local activities being "make and run" (GPLv3); or "use, study, modify" (UFL-1.0).
