A font under the SIL open font license can be bundled with software as described in the licence:
- Original or Modified Versions of the Font Software may be bundled,
redistributed and/or sold with any software, provided that each copy
contains the above copyright notice and this licence. These can be
included either as stand-alone text files, human-readable headers or
in the appropriate machine-readable metadata fields within text or
binary files as long as those fields can be easily viewed by the user.
From my reading of this, it is sufficient to include the licence in a file in the app even though most users will never see it. Is this correct? Or is it necessary to include the licence somewhere in the app where it can be easily read? When licences speak of distributing software, Iām not clear if that refers to just source code, or applications also.
