[OpenFontLibrary] Hevetice Neue on the OpenFont site

[Joshua A.C. Newman]

Yeah, this is really nice. Do you mind if I tweak the glyphs I want to  
change? Or do you want critique that you can take or leave?

The project I'm working on is called Ashlar. It's a content management  
platform designed to make integration of different types of dynamic  
web information (e.g. blogs and shopping carts) easily intercompatible  
while keeping a Wordrpress-like ease of use. I'm the head designer on  
the project and I've been on a quest for a nice, clean, modern sans to  
use as the official font of the various Ashlar brands, but because the  
font has to be distributed (rather than just rendered once) it needs  
to be an open font.

I tell you this because I want to make sure you understand that the  
open sourceness of this will be used to the fullest extent. It will be  
included with every installation of the application to be used in body  
and titles and become a feature of the brand.

So, what license are you using for it?
