Font Licensing Mess

@marsidesino This is incredible! A lot of this information is also going to be included in the next iteration of the https://typefoundry.directory.

Hoping efforts like these help to demystify font licensing.

@marsidesino If you want to expand your data pool, feel free to get in touch! More than happy to share what I have gathered as well.

@marsidesino What is the criteria for a 'lead position'?

Font Licensing Independent Research

@klim it includes founders, co-founders, partners, CEOs, and general managers. If you visit the resources page, there is a database with names and roles (more than those included in the sample). We created this list based on the public information available on foundries’ websites.

@marsidesino

Very interesting.

Is it 'legal' to sell a Font without any License .pdf provided? I do not know these things and I do not intend to copy a .pdf from another site.

But I will provide a .pdf on how to use each Font.

I do intent to start selling my Tengwar Fonts once I have mastered how to do it properly. I hope in about a year or so.
