I'm not the creator of the font, I found it in a website (see README.md) and the licence was not specified. |
That's a silly conclusion that completely ignores how copyright law works. Monaco is not a freely licensed font, meaning that distributing it or any modified versions, or even just downloading it from unlicensed sources is copyright infringement, and you could be sued by Apple, the copyright holder. |
You're right, I'm not a lawyer and you could help me to understand how copyright works.
Good point @kyrias did you find the license? Could you help us, please? Hope you help us. Thanks. |
There's no actual license for it, because it's not meant to be used by others freely. If you want to use materials copyrighted by Apple, you're going to have to ask them yourself. Essentially, everything you create (with few exceptions) is automatically copyright protected. Unless you explicitly make it available under a license, no one else can do anything with it. |
@kyrias I understood. Thanks for your help. |
Now the The users that install whatever type of font have to know that every fonts have a license and he/she should keep in mind that they may not be used for free. Other info: please see README. |
What is the license on this font?
