I've been working on a program that includes the Adobe Times font from the debian package x11/xfonts-75dpi. That package is assembled from xfree86 sources. Several other fonts that come from xfree86 have explict copyright permissions -- for example the Bitstream Charter fonts, but I have been unable to find any record of Adobe giving a license for their 'Times' fonts. I asked debian-legal, but no one could provide me with solid information about the upstream licensing. The font files themselves have "all-rights-reserved" copyright notices for Adobe and Digital: Copyright (c) 1984, 1987 Adobe Systems Incorporated. All Rights Reserved. Copyright (c) 1988, 1991 Digital Equipment Corporation. All Rights Reserved. Times is a trademark of Linotype-Hell AG and/or its subsidiaries. The upstream license' section of the COPYRIGHT file for the xfonts-75dpi package does not appear to contain any pertinent information, other than mentioning Adobe's name in a long list of contributors. Does anyone know where I could find the explicit license from Adobe/Digital for these fonts to be included in Xfree86? thanks, -- Robinson Tryon _______________________________________________ Devel@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
