   @sazius I actually think the FSF does not even *understand* 'creative works' or fonts - their suggestion that the SIL OFL requires bundling of a program is totally off, it does no such thing! They apparently do not understand that *building* a font requires combining "software" and "designs", without the software part there is not font. /cc @drak

     @mk But you are right, RMS and the FSF makes a distinction between "works designed to do practical jobs" and "art".

     @mk if that is a useful distinction or not is an interesting debate... I don't have an answer for that question :-)

     @sazius forgetting, of course, that many "practical jobs" require some "art" (think of "industrial design" - there is such a thing as "applied art" and font design falls under that heading, too)

     @mk and I agree that the @fsf does not understand creative works: They state that only “functonal works” need copyleft. I disagree

     @drak I agree with that, too. They're clearly out of their depth regarding "creative works" and their possible roles and uses, and only mention it here and there as an afterthought (and - in the case of fonts - not even understanding what the SIL license actually requires, let alone why).
