15  * Regarding the use of built font files.
16  
17  As a special exception, if you create a document which uses this font, and
18  embed this font or unaltered portions of this font into the document, this
19  font does not by itself cause the resulting document to be covered by the
20  GNU General Public License. This exception does not however invalidate any
21  other reasons why the document might be covered by the GNU General Public
22  License. If you modify this font, you may extend this exception to your
23  version of the font, but you are not obligated to do so.  If you do not
24  wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your version.
25  
26  * Clarification of exception, regarding intended use of embedded fonts
27  
28  The exception to the GNU General Public License for the GNU FreeFont
29  software exempts a user that embeds part or all of the GNU FreeFont software
30  in a document, as well as subsequent users and distributors of the document,
31  from complying with the GNU GPL under some circumstances.
32  
33  Specifically, this exemption applies when the embedder has not modified
34  the GNU FreeFont software before embedding it. This is true even though
35  portions of the software become part of the document.
36  
37  Therefore users of fonts released with this exception need not concern
38  themselves with the license terms to:
39  
40     Create a printable file using the fonts.
41     - Publish such a file.
42     - Redistribute such a file.
43     - Publicly display such a file.
44     - Print such a file or display it on the screen.
45  
46  However anyone distributing the font software as software separately from
47  the document, even if the way the font software was obtained was to extract
48  it from a document, would have to comply with the GNU GPL.
49  
50  A modified version of the GNU FreeFont software must comply with the GNU GPL.
51  It may optionally carry the same exception as the GNU FreeFont software
52  itself, and we recommend releasing modified versions that way. If it does,
53  then users will likewise be permitted to embed the modified version in
54  documents and be exempt from the GNU GPL requirements on those documents.
