hello gael

thank you for this great font, i have packaged your font for the www.debian.org
linux distribution (probably ubuntu also has it). and i wanted to update to your
new version, but i do some modification to your font (like add bold, italic and
stuff like that using some fontforge scripts). the font license doesn't allow
modifications and using the same name though (ofl). would you consider adding an
exception to the license to allow distributing the font with modifications under
the same name, or relicense it to say public domain or gnu gpl?

you can check the generated fonts here:

yours,
guerkan

Hello,
Super new emphasis. I draw manually Bold, there a few months back. It's
true that the fontforge scripts, I will joins to the message. I'm
sending you the RadisSans medium in version 1.0.
I learned that the license OFL is linked to evangelical church (I'm
anticlerical), and it also has links with the CIA in South America ...
So I gladly exchange license for the public domain, Especially that the
public domain is a act highly Revolutionary. :)

I draw a new free font, it will be a complete family. It will be called
"le libertaire". Do you send when it is finished.
