Well doubtless Linotype can advise us what their licensing conditions are, but for instance, in my day job as a tech writer,companies I work for have regularly purchased fonts for us to use in a particular template.
They'll often come with something like a "five user license" ...I or my colleagues will use them to produce commerical customer-facing docs, sold as part of a product, with the font embedded in the PDF. Pretty standard font retail/licensing model.
I don't see why Project Aon would be any different. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Jonathan Blake" <jonathan.blake@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, July 12, 2010 8:58 PM To: <projectaon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [projectaon] Re: PDF Comment Period

It would be best to have this documented in SVN.I'm sorry, but I cannot send you the font as I'm not allowed to do so due to its license. We expect people to respect the Project Aon License so we should do the same for other licenses. FWIW, I got the font from a CD with some version of Corel Draw which was part of the delivery of a PC (with loads of stuff).Agreed. So we're back to discussing purchasing the fonts for official Project Aon use. However, I'm not able to determine what the license terms are for the font if I purchase it, for example, through Linotype. If I purchase the fonts (basically in Project Aon's name), is it within the license terms for me to distribute it to others for the sole purpose of allowing them to work on PA stuff? Or is it a single person license, no pseudo-corporations may apply? Also, would OpenType work for our purposes? -- Jon ~~~~~~ Manage your subscription at //www.freelists.org/list/projectaon
