Hello.
Is the Bitstream Vera font licensed under GPL 2.0? Bitstream's website states (inter alia) that the
"The Bitstream Vera fonts are available for free copying and redistribution. They can be modified as long as the font name is changed. The fonts cannot be packaged by themselves for sale, but can be sold with any software. The GNOME Foundation will incorporate the fonts into GNOME releases, giving end users of all levels, as well as GNOME developers, the advanced display capabilities they offer."
What does it mean to say that the "GNOME Foundation will incorporate the fonts into GNOME releases"? Does this refer to the unmodified Bitstream Vera fonts? Will the licensee's modifications or derivatives of the Bitstream Vera font become open source?
Thank you in advance for your assistance with this matter.
Regards,
Connie P. Limperis
