I feel bad that this whole discussion ended up being about
legal matters. Because some people seem unable to simply
copy-paste 200 lines of code w

I agree. I suggest a simple permissive license such as the one used for X11

put a BSD license on the font some day, when I judge the
quality
What licenses are the tools and the font? There doesn't seem to be a copyright
statement or license anywhere. Maybe I am missing something obvious...
Looks very interesting. I had an idea for a bitmap font yesterday, so it is
perfect timing. I have some additional tools in mind, but I would like
Hi folks,
I wrote some tools to design bitmap fonts. Maybe you'll
