@sarahjeong@marciahofmann@xor Wait, now I'm confused — is the typeface file ineligible, or do I need to instruct a computer to trace it? -
@flamsmark@marciahofmann@xor the file itself would be subject to software ©, the typeface *as typeface* (a visual work) is uncopyrightable -
@sarahjeong@marciahofmann@xor What part of the file is software, or are vector descriptions of the shapes of letters “software“? -
@flamsmark@marciahofmann@xor GOOD QUESTION, that is indeed what i am currently stuck on -

@agbulleteric right, sorry, I kind of elided that for 140, but I agree with your interpretation
-
@xor didn't mean to barge in but I'm a former IP litigator turned letterpress printer so this is chum in the water for me -
@agbulleteric wow, yes, this is RIGHT IN YOUR WHEELHOUSE.
