1. mk drak , sazius

   @sazius @drak what _is_ interesting is that it explicitly mentions CC BY-SA as a copyleft license (just like SIL's OFL is also copyleft and not incompatible). I am sticking with my conclusion that bundling a CC BY-SA or SIL font (with or without extra CC BY-SA for contained icons) with a GPL-licensed set of programs ("theme") is perfectly OK.

     @mk I've seen dual-licensing as a recommended option for that case. E.g. dual CC-BY-SA and GPL for inclusion with GPL software.

     @mk At least in practice it is probably OK, nobody is going to sue you for it :-)

     @sazius yes, and you can bundle an icon font which itself has a dual license (SIL for the font software, and CC BY-SA for the icon components) with GPL'ed software :D Only practical point is that you must spell out exactly which components are under which license.

     @mk jupp, legally speaking you can bundle anything. Just don’t embed incompatibly licensed stuff in a single document (i.e. PDF).

     @drak ...and that's why you *always* must add the Font Exception (FE) to a GPL'd font if you want to allow embedding. That is really, because a font shoudl always declare whether or not embedding is allowed (or only under specific conditions): in a well-designed font this information is actually embedded.

     @mk Anyhow, I think I will retire from the #fediverse now and enjoy my last beer and a book offline :-) Good #tzaf !

     @mk Actually a GPL font without font-exception allows embedding - but only if the document as a whole is under GPL, too (free culture).

     @drak for a font you need to state that, or at least embed that information in the font

     @mk Yes. You should for example embed the licensing information in the font. If it’s GPL without exception, it only allows embedding in GPL-compatible documents. If it has the GPL font-exception, it allows unlimited embedding.
