+Description: Relicense Akashi font to OFL
+ Add note that Akashi-Font is OFL-licensed, and provide context.
+ .
+ The derivative images (i.e. "documents") that use the Akashi font should not
+ actually carry any requirements from the OFL in this case, and thus are in
+ effect only licensed as CC-BY-SA.

++ Hi Ed,
++ .
++ (I was using the alias "Arand Nash" with the ienorand at gmail.com email
++ previously. I've since switched over to using the birth name)
++ .
++ We are currently using your typeface "Akashi" for several pieces of
++ "word art" and in the logo of the Free and Open Source FPS game Red
++ Eclipse <http://redeclipse.net>.
++ .
++ It's an awesome font which we really like! :)
++ .
++ I previously contacted you regarding a clarification of the font
++ license, since we tend to be a bit picky with our licenses in order to
++ remain fully open source, the clarification I got at that point we
++ deemed fine.
++ .
++ However, it seems that some distributions, into which we would very much
++ like Red Eclipse to be accepted, wants a more formal license for things
++ (explicitly allowing use, modification, and redistribution with or
++ without modification).
++ .
++ (The discussion in question is on a bug report for the game package in
++ the linux distribution Fedora:
++ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=895947)
++ .
++ Would it be possible to get a more formal clarification of the license
++ for the Akashi font covering those bits, or more preferably, would it be
++ possible to use the Akashi font under a well-known license like the
++ OFL-1.1, since this would make sure to avoid all the misinterpretation
++ pitfalls of a custom-written license.
++ .
++ Thanks!
