| All Noto fonts now licensed under Open Font License 1.1 |
| ======================================================= |
| |
| With the new release we have moved from Apache 2.0 to Open Font License 1.1 (OFL 1.1). We |
| are making this change because it makes it easier for you, the end users of Noto, to use |
| the fonts that we produce. When we first released the Noto fonts the OFL license was |
| still a bit of an unknown entity and the Apache license looked familiar to us. Over the |
| years the OFL license has become the most commonly used and understood license to use for |
| open source fonts. |
| |
| All of our fonts going forward from this release will be available only under the OFL |
| license. If you still want the fonts under the Apache license you can get them from the |
| repo using the tag 'v2015-09-29-license-apache'. However, new fonts and updates to |
| existing fonts will use the OFL license. |
