Dear Erik,
|
|
|
|
Thank you for contacting and informing me.
|
|
|
|
I am sorry that my explanation was not good.
|
|
In conclusion, you can include DSEG in FlightGear (GPL licensed
|
|
software), and distribute it freely.
|
|
|
|
>distribute and sell DSEG data which you modified.
|
|
This means that I want to prevent sale this font data itself.
|
|
|
|
OFL that you introduced me is very suitable for my opinion,
|
|
so I will consider change license to OFL.
|
|
(But I need a little time for changing document.)
|
|
|
|
Sincerely,
|
|
Keshikan
