The Wikipedia article on VAG Rounded says...
"In 1978, the whole Volkswagen and Audi Dealer Organization worldwide
was re-branded as V.A.G using the distinct V.A.G Rounded (or V.A.G
Rundschrift) as the font for all signage, and for all headlines in their
advertising. The V.A.G logo did not use the font. Worldwide availability
of the font was a problem. To solve the problem, V.A.G Rounded was put
in the public domain. As Desktop Publishing emerged in the mid 1980’s,
V.A.G Rounded was included in most free font packages and became widely
used for that reason."
Is this so?
All the "VAG Rounded" fonts I can find seem to be commercial.
