I had a lovely time during the Saturday workshop „Demystifying Font Licensing” with Joyce Ketterer. I recommend attending if you’ll get the opportunity.
Key takeaways for me:
1) A good license should not require a lawyer to understand.
2) IP rights, Patents, and copyrights don’t necessarily work for fonts as you think they do.
3) FAQ, or a TLDR explanation of the license offered by foundries might not explain the license well. This might lead to an expensive lawsuit.
Thank you to people from Poznań, who took the time to organise those workshops.
