Font licensing on fonthead.dev
When you publish a font on fonthead.dev, the license tells other people what they can do with it.
Fonthead currently supports three approaches: the SIL Open Font License, CC0, and personal use only.
OFL — SIL Open Font License
The OFL is the default option for a font you want other people to be able to use and share.
People can use the font in personal or commercial work, embed it in apps and documents, study it, modify it, and redistribute it.
The font file itself cannot be sold on its own, and modified versions remain under the same license.
Choose OFL when you want your font to stay open and be usable by other people.
CC0 — Public domain
CC0 is the most open option.
It dedicates your work to the public domain so other people can use it without conditions or a requirement to credit you.
Choose CC0 when you want the font available with no strings attached.
Personal use only
This option allows people to use your font for personal, non-commercial projects.
Commercial use requires your permission.
Fonthead does not manage that agreement. Any commercial-use arrangement is between you and the person who wants to use the font.
Choose this option when you want to keep control of commercial use.
What you are responsible for
Only publish fonts you have the right to publish.
Use your own lettering or lettering you have permission to use. Do not trace an existing commercial typeface and republish it as your own.
The license you choose applies to your work. It does not give you rights to someone else's work.
