Hi Bardaqani,
sorry for not being clear on this for the first time.
The problem with GPL licensed font is that when you for example
create PDF file (like a book) the you usually embed the font inside
the document and then is anyone able to see it correct even
when he does not have the Kurdish font in system (really good thing).
But: When you have used GPL font (like Unikurd Web) inside PDF file
then you must license the file/book as a GPL too! And that's the
problem.
Because of this there's special Font Exception which solves that
problem.
What would help us a lot:
1. Re-license the fonts from 'GPLv3' to 'GPLv3 + exception'.
Here's the link to such text:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#FontException
2. Write the text from the above link to the file gpl.txt inside
unikurdweb.zip file.
Solving points 1. and 2. will help us to distribute Your font in
Fedora and thus helpfull for Kurdish writing/speaking users in
general.
Don't hesitate and write me in case of another questions or if
you need any further guidance.
Thank you,
Michal
