["Henri Yandell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-38?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Henri Yandell closed LEGAL-38.
------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

Already on the http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html page as a category A license; though not clearly as it's called 'Deja Vu Fonts'. I'll update that.

> The incubating Apache PDFBox project includes Bitstream Vera fonts. These fonts are available from http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ttf-bitstream-vera/1.10/ and come under the permissive license shown in http://www.gnome.org/fonts/#Final_Bitstream_Vera_Fonts. The only "special" requirement of the license is the following:
>     The Font Software may be sold as part of a larger software package but no copy of one or more of the Font Software typefaces may be sold by itself.
> In other words, this would prevent someone from selling just the font files bundled in a PDFBox release. That seems highly unlikely as the fonts are already free for use by anyone.
> Is it OK for an Apache project to distribute font files under this Bitstream Vera font license?
