--- Comment #13 from Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek <zbyszek@xxxxxxxxx> ---
The _intent_ is clear in the preamble ("be used … and redistributed freely"),
however "Permissions & Conditions" allows for "propagation" under specified
terms, but doesn't directly allow _use_. So you're allowed to distribute the
font, but there's no specific permission for the font to be used. This doesn't
make much sense, and I doubt anyone could argue, because of the preamble, that
you violate the copyright just by using the font, but indeed this should be
fixed.

I don't think the suggested fix of dropping "except executing
it on a computer or modifying a private copy" is the best approach. Instead, it
would imho be better to add a separate sentence at the beginning of
Permissions&Conditions that use, study, and modification, without propagation,
are not limited in any way.
