[announcement] Code2000 font switched license from shareware to GPLv3+FE || OFL

Hi all,

Great news! The author of the Code2000 pan-Unicode font has recently
switched the font to being licensed under the GNU GPLv3. During the
discussions where I attempted to verify the license and get commit
access to the project, James granted dual licensing under the GPLv3+FE
and the SIL OFL. Unfortunately he wants to keep the code2000.sf.net
project as a historic and no-longer developed project and have us fork
the project, hosting it elsewhere.

My initial plans for the project are:

      * pick a name for the fork, C2K was suggested during the
        discussion
      * pick a site for hosting the fork, add Thierry, myself and anyone
        else who wants to join the project
      * setup a git repository and import the current binary TTF release
      * convert the binary TTF files into UFO format, which seems to be
        a more cross-vendor format than SFD, commit that to git.
        According to the current release, "All fonts are created from
        scratch natively in TTF format inside FontCreator 6.0".
      * cleanup and add documentation about the licensing
      * package it for Debian and encourage other distros to package it
      * blog about the freeing of the font and get that on LWN/etc
      * look for contributors and watch for bug reports

Some developments:

The code2000 sf.net project has been defaced by someone:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/code2000/

john knightley discovered that the person behind James' address is not
James himself, see attachments and his mail to the unicode list:

http://www.unicode.org/mail-arch/unicode-ml/y2012-m02/0064.html

Other folks who know James say similar things:

http://www.unicode.org/mail-arch/unicode-ml/y2012-m02/0055.html

The address used has been unsubscribed from the unicode list and others:

[PATCH 0/6] Liberation: more flexible Makefile incl. formats for web

Hi Pravin and list,

at sunzi project, we strive to consume external components from
their repositories and other native locations.  To make it easily
possible also with Liberation fonts, I went through the existing
Makefile with the aim to add support for exporting into common web
formats, making some other changes on my way.

In fact, the change I desire is concentrated in the last patch, but
I hope the previous ones (split into more patches for easier review)
also make sense.  The compatibility with releasing workflow as well
as with the job of system packagers should be guaranteed.

If there is something wrong with the patchset, feel free to bug me
on.  Otherwise I would be grateful for applying it.

P.S. I can go ahead and file a bug (referring to this thread) if it is
a preferred channel.

Regards,
Jan

  Makefile: do not remove file we do not create
  Fix duplicate README (nested as link to root one)
  Makefile: add .PHONY target
  Makefile: add check target using fontlint
  Makefile: restructure for usability and modularity
  Makefile: now support other common export formats

[PATCH 2/6] Fix duplicate README (nested as link to root one)

Also fix options to tar command so the symlinks are resolved first.

Note that previously, dist-ttf would propably fail if not dist-sfd
was not run in advance (due to missing "cp ../README ./").

[PATCH 4/6] Makefile: add check target using fontlint

Fontlint is a font checker accompanying FontForge.
The check will proceed the SFD files through it, outputting the messages
to both standard output and to the per commit specific file (failback
to per date specific if git information not available) for easy
regression checking.  This final part of "check" workflow can be done,
e.g., manually (with diff selecting the right files to compare).

To prevent logs from check messing the repo, capture them in local
.gitignore file that initially includes also archives and directory
with generated TTF files.

[PATCH 5/6] Makefile: restructure for usability and modularity

Previously, it was rather a shell script than set of recipes
with resource dependencies tracking.

The old targets (should) work as they used to, plus there are new ones:
- make ttf:
  generate TTF files in the "export" dir (which can be overriden from
  command line), utilizing native feature of "make" to generate only
  files the sources of which have changed (useful, e.g., for continuous
  updates tracking)
- make ttf-dir:
  target which "make" and "make down" boil down to, single-shot
  batch generation of TTF file to dedicated directory, i.e., without
  the advantage of dependency-change tracking as with the previous

To handle more universal tasks, new FontForge script was added
as scripts/fontexport.pe (it even contains brief help) and is
integrated on the places as the other ones.

Also .gitignore is extended with "export" dir.
