License for CreteRound fonts?

[rathann]

Dear developers,
While reviewing the contents of adblockplus source, I found these font files:
https://hg.adblockplus.org/adblockplusu ... skin/fonts

Code: Select all

CreteRound-Italic.otf
CreteRound-Regular.otf
SourceSansPro-Light.woff
SourceSansPro-Regular.woff
SourceSansPro-Semibold.woff

Now, the SourceSansPro fonts come from http://adobe-fonts.github.io/source-sans-pro and they're licensed under the OFL. However, CreteRound seem to originate from http://www.type-together.com/Crete and their license is http://www.type-together.com/resources/eula/TT-EULA.pdf, which does not permit redistribution. The files themselves indicate they're under OFL, so this is a bit confusing:

Code: Select all

$ otfinfo --info CreteRound-Italic.otf 
Family:              Crete Round
Subfamily:           Italic
Full name:           Crete Round Italic

Could you confirm that you have written permission to use and redistribute the CreteRound Regular and Italic fonts from their authors under the OFL?

I'm not sure about specialized tools but a text viewer shows me: "This Font Software is licensed under the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1." That's the license we are using it under.

Edit: I think that we got the font from https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/crete-round or a similar website. The files for download there are identical with ours.

Edit2: I contacted Type Together about this, just to have them verify that the download on fontsquirrel.com is legitimate.

I received confirmation from Type Together that Font Squirrel has permission to distribute the Crete Round fonts under the OFL.
Case closed.
