Open Font License (OFL) 1.1 Released

Dear OFL friends and reviewers,

We’re pleased to finally announce the com­ple­tion of the SIL Open Font
License ver­sion 1.1. This free and open license has been updated to improve
clar­ity, remove poten­tial ambi­gu­ities, and make it easier to use for both
authors and users.

Visit the OFL web site for more information:

http://​scripts.​sil.​org/ofl

A detailed list of changes can be found on the review page:

The only not­able change in usage is that authors must now expli­citly list
any names that should be Reserved Font Names. The ori­ginal name of the font
is no longer reserved by default.

Thanks to all of you who have helped us refine this license and make it even
easier to use and understand.

Victor Gault­ney & Nic­olas Spalinger
