A known licensing description must be provided in the NameID 14 (LICENSE DESCRIPTION) entries of the name table.
The source of truth for this check (to determine which license is in use) is a file placed side-by-side to your font project including the licensing terms.
Depending on the chosen license, one of the following string snippets is expected to be found on the NameID 13 (LICENSE DESCRIPTION) entries of the name table:
-
"This Font Software is licensed under the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1. This license is available with a FAQ at: openfontlicense.org"
-
"Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0"
-
"Licensed under the Ubuntu Font Licence 1.0."
Currently accepted licenses are Apache or Open Font License. For a small set of legacy families the Ubuntu Font License may be acceptable as well.
When in doubt, please choose OFL for new font projects.
