Hiya,
This has probably been asked a gazillion times, but with the 3.9 release, I was wondering if anything had been done about the embedded Apple Fonts and the current Squeak Licence. In plain terms I would like to know that if I do not modify any underlying code, and I preserve the licence with the 'application', that I can create any application with Squeak and distribute it for free or for profit. A little clearer: I create a Squeak image, tailored to a specific requirement (let's say for example: A game) that I can then give away or sell. Cheers, Luis. _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners |

There are no Apple Fonts anymore. We switched to the free Accu and Bitstream Vera Fonts a while ago. > In plain terms I would like to know that if I do not modify any > underlying code, and I preserve the licence with the 'application', > that I can create any application with Squeak and distribute it for > free or for profit. If you're doing it for profit, you should not just seek advice on a mailing list - IANAL ;-) > A little clearer: I create a Squeak image, tailored to a specific > requirement (let's say for example: A game) that I can then give > away or sell. That is what other companies have been doing. E.g., impara with "Plopp" (http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/3898353664). That was bundled with a VM, so users would not even notice it is build with Squeak unless waiting through the end-credits. Looks like any normal app, comes with its own EULA - no license worries. - Bert - _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners |
