Hi Garrick,

Thanks for your quick and positive answer on this front and for pushing
the fix. I hope you'll restore the original metadata tables of the
libre/open fonts which you offer to your subscribers.

It is not just an awkward position, it is offensive to many designers.
Surely not what you want. So thanks for fixing the situation.


What is your feeling about s/free/gratis/g and about the linkbacks and
community sponsoring suggestions of the earlier thread?


Cheers,
