Having dealt with font legalities (IANAL) while writing a bare-metal printer driver: rendered characters are not copyrightable. Method of rendering may be, but not final output.
- kqr 6y agoSo does a bitmap specifying which pixels to light up count as a rendered character or a method of rendering?
- frabert 6y agoMaybe, but that's definitely not copyrighted by the font maker.
- deelowe 6y agoSo is it illegal to host the Menlo font on github? It's my preferred monospace font, but can be sometimes hard to find and there several "open" copies. That claim to not be encumbered. Isn't there also "non-free" font repos in debian?
