Regards, Jerzy Ludwichowski ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: president(a)gust.org.pl (Jerzy B. Ludwichowski) Subject: URW++ making original 35 fonts available under LPPL I am forwarding the message below on behalf of Peter Rosenfeld, Managing Director of URW++, who has kindly agreed to make the basic 35 PostScript fonts also available under the LPPL. At his request, I'll be disseminating the information throughout the TeX community. Many thanks to Dr. Rosenfeld! Many thanks are also due to Karl Berry, TUG President, for his unswerving support and advice and Bogus\{}aw Jackowski, lead TeX Gyre developer, for pushing the issue. Best, Jerzy From: Peter Rosenfeld Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2009 11:33:29 +0200 Subject: URW++ original 35 fonts available under LPPL To whom it may concern, Many years ago, URW++ Design and Development Inc. released their Type 1 implementations of the basic 35 PostScript fonts under the GNU General Public License and the Aladdin Ghostscript Free Public License. We now additionally release them under the LaTeX Project Public License (http://www.latex-project.org/lppl), either version 1 or (at your option) any later version. Of course, this additional licensing applies to the original URW++ material, not any subsequent changes and additions made by other parties. The original font files are widely available, for instance as part of the Ghostscript 4.00 release, and therefore we are not releasing any new font files. Those interested can replace the license terms in those original files accordingly. Responsibility for ensuring that no material is incorrectly licensed remains with the distributor, as always. We hope this additional licensing will make our fonts even more widely available and usable in the free software community, such as the TeX Gyre Project. Sincerely, Peter Rosenfeld (Managing Director, URW++)
