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. :)
Very cool. Phinney was one of the people in the loop on the whole
previous discussion, as I recall. I don't mind writing him, assuming I
can dig up his email somewhere.
For typographers & designers it would be really exciting if Utopia (and
others!) would be available as source --
I've never seen anything but the pfb's. I doubt you'd lose much by
starting with them instead of sitting around waiting for lawyers to do
their thing.
but to be able to make a derivative work, it's license needs to
allow more than just the freedom to add glyphs.
The existing LICENSE-utopia absolutely *does* allow much more freedom
than merely adding glyphs. It allows you do anything you want,
basically, except call your modified version "Utopia". Read it.
