I would assume it really comes down to Gumroad's ToS and what they "allow" on their site, but it is a bit different if he was buying data and reselling it. He's not, he's taking publicly available data and adding va

I work for a major foundry and fonts are ludicrously complex for a ton of reasons, but for the most part TTFs use quadratics, but our designers exclusively use cubics (postscript outlines) at design time and there is a conversion process to

A pox on the house of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Even if you're a climate skeptic, what they've done to the country is absolutely criminal.
