[Openfontlibrary] On the license of Adobe Utopia font

[Femke Snelting]

Dear all,

Thanks a lot for this interesting thread!

Thomas Phinney, product Manager Fonts @ Adobe left this comment on our 
blogpost on the possible re-licensing of Utopia:

> Well, gosh, just drop me an email and we can talk. :)
> 
> I’m open to the possibility of using OFL on the four basic faces of Utopia, as long as The Lawyers are okay with it.

For typographers & designers it would be really exciting if Utopia (and 
others!) would be available as source -- but to be able to make a 
derivative work, it's license needs to allow more than just the freedom 
to add glyphs.

We are not as informed about legal and technical consequenses as you all 
are :-) and it looks like the trouble will be in the 'as long as the 
lawyers are ok with it'. So... we wondered whether one of you want to 
take this on? Or are you already in contact with these people? Or can 
you help us with what we exactly should ask for?

all the best from Brussels,
