description: "The GPL family of licenses is the most widely used free software license and has a strong copyleft requirement. When distributing derived works, the source code of the work must be made available under the same license. The AGPL family of licenses is distinguished from GPLv2 and GPLv3 in that hosted services using the code are considered distribution and trigger the copyleft requirements."
note: The Free Software Foundation recommends taking the additional step of adding a boilerplate notice to the top of each file. The boilerplate can be found at the end of the license.
how: Create a text file (typically named LICENSE or LICENSE.txt) in the root of your source code and copy the text of the license into the file.

redirect_from: /licenses/ofl/
hidden: true
source: http://scripts.sil.org/OFL_web
description: The Open Font License (OFL) is maintained by SIL International. It attempts to be a compromise between the values of the free software and typeface design communities. It is used for almost all open source font projects, including those by Adobe, Google and Mozilla.
note: This license doesn't require source provision, but recommends it. All files derived from OFL files must remain licensed under the OFL.
how: Create a text file (typically named LICENSE or LICENSE.txt) in the root of your font source and copy the text of the license into the file. Replace [year] with the current year and [fullname] ([email]) with the name and contact email address of each copyright holder. You may take the additional step of appending a Reserved Font Name notice. This option requires anyone making modifications to change the font's name, and is not ideal for web fonts (which all users will modify by changing formats and subsetting for their own needs.)
note: This license doesn't require source provision, but recommends it. All files derived from OFL files must remain licensed under the OFL.
