Hello Fellows,
I know some people on this list are in contact with German official representatives I'd like to raise this question: Can my government [1] commission the creation of a font and not have the rights for it? As a German citizen I want this released under a free license like OFL.
The current font license says: 'Copyright (c) 2011 Juergen Huber, Martin Wenzel'
Here is what those authors say: '... The project was to cover all communication issued by the government and their ministries, online or offline, national or international. It was a demanding and interesting task. Though we were accustomed to working on projects like these for corporations, we were now asked to design “for the people” ' [2]
