The main purpose is to enable a true open typographic community to spring up and grow. The OFL provides a legal framework and infrastructure for worldwide development, sharing and improvement of fonts and related software in a collaborative manner. It enables font authors to release their work under a common license that allows bundling, modification and redistribution. It encourages shared value, is not limited to any specific computing platform or environment, and can be used by other organisations or individuals." Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpmlinr a package with that license 2. 3. Actual Results: rpmlint warning Expected Results: rpmlint blissfulness Additional info:
Are there many packages out there using this license?
Right now AFAIK only one - but SIL has several fonts in beta testing that they plan to release under this license, which they designed in hopes that other font developers could use the license as well.
What do you think the exact form recognized by rpmlint should be? "SIL Open Font License", "OFL"? I don't see it being referred to as "Open Font License" (without "SIL", that is).
SIL OFL would work imho.
