Andrew,
I did some more research on the URW-Fonts:
They are GPLed. No Aladdin license. After some searching on the
net I found the latest "original" Aladdin distribution of these
fonts. All data-files in this distribution contain the following:
Comment Copyright URW Software, Copyright 1996 by URW
Comment Creation Date: 2/16/1996
Comment See the file COPYING (GNU General Public License) for licen se conditions.
or:
Copyright 1997 URW Software. See file COPYING for license
or:
% Copyright URW Software, Copyright 1994 by URW
% URW Software, Copyright 1994 by URW
% See the file COPYING (GNU General Public License) for license conditions.
>From the GPL:
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
the scope of this License.
Is the Squeak-Image a "distribution-Medium"? We should add a method like
"Utilities writeFontsToDisk" -- than the image+vm is nothing more than a
"zip" or "tar" with a graphical frontend.
Of course Squeak can not only write the fonts to the disk, but even use
them, but the use ("running the programm") is not restricted by the GPL.
