Except most of the creative part was done 100 years ago and companies are now trying to protect the fact that they digitized something that has existed for a century or longer.

- Suppafly 2y agoThey are still mostly derivative works in basically every sense.
- Fraterkes 2y agoConfidently asserted obvious falsehood
- unclad5968 2y agoIt's not obvious to me. Could you explain what makes fonts non-derivative?
- Fraterkes 2y agoIn what way are fonts derivative that doesn't apply to everything else that is created?
