Hi Femke,

Congratulations for the design work and the release :-)
Looks like you had a lot of fun during this print party again!
(Looking forward to the full package...)

Which reminds I still gotta send you my notes and feedback from the LGM 
print party...

We have plans to update the CC-host engine and include support for GPL + 
exception fonts. But realistically the font exception really needs some 
work...  There are also quite a few uploaded fonts which need a license 
audit too.

Cheers,
