I understand the point you bring to light and the fact that copyright protection may in fact and on the long run endanger the original creator. I just feel a bit weird to read such terms in a contract while we both obviously knows a bit (you, much more than I do) about typeface history and the kind of mutual copying process the big Masters from the past used to develop and enrich the production of typographic styles: the derivation of artistic and cultural work is quite an important historic factor - no? Another somehow related question: what if I would like to use this font in, let's say, a single article in a magazine: shall I buy the typeface - me as the graphic designer, me as the journalist? or is it the magazine who should buy it? How many licence would then be required to comply with your licencing system? Hey Max!

I wish to clarify certain, arguably scary aspects of a typical typeface eula. Regarding the "derivative work" thing. It is actually pretty simple. Typefaces are a very difficult "product" do make business of, as their legal status remains sadly unclear. Basically, typefaces are generally assimilated to softwares, but also bear certain legal aspects assimilated to "designs" and artworks. Additionally, legislations depend on the country where the potential infraction is committed and the jurisprudence is often lacking. Which means that contracts, "licenses" must consider specific (local) legislations too. In this very case, the line that made you jump is maily there for the american market where it is legal to open a font file, rename the font and sell it as such without changing a single point. To avoid this type of cases, we have to protect ourselves in the Eula, it is the only way. Obviously, it is only up to us whereas how it is that we want ton enforce it… I hope it brings some light. :) If I may add, I'd like to emphasize on the fact that we are the first, and so far only foundry that openly encourages file exchange and general use of the fonts by providing freely downloadable trial versions on our website. Time will tell if we are right to do so! cheers! Dear Jérôme.

It is full of strange small programms with funny icons. One of them is called "Font Editor" and allows to edit .fnt files. When I started to play with it I had this error pop-up that made me think of the issue you where discussing at the end of yout blog entry. It is funny to see encoded here in this small corner the practice of creating fonts by reworking existing ones... <img src="http://beytiskimu.net/capture/img/fonteditor.JPG"> This morning I was looking for a small utility in my window computer and I stumbled across a folder I like a lot on window PCs it is often in “Program files” and then “Microsoft VS\Common\Tools” or “Microsoft Visual Basic\Common\Tools”.
