Hello,
in IRC I got the hint to ask my questions here. Sorry for my english.
I published a true type font under GPL license. You can find it at http://fixedsys.moviecorner.de
Today I got an email saying (free translation):
"we want to use your font (f.e. because of the euro sign) in our pps system. Because of the GPL this is not allowed for us without payment."
I don't understand what his problem is and I don't see problems with using the font in their system if they give a text file with the GPL license with it and install the font on the customer's system.
May this company take the font and give it away to customers if the GPL is included and software itself makes use of the font via the OS? The font is not included in the software then, it is not linked. It's just installed as the customer would have downloaded it from my website.
Thanks in advance for your answers, Lars Naber
