lol - that is indeed what this is :-)

I believe that since fonts are software, and since type designs are
functional - a type design you can't read with is non-functional -
then they ought to be free in the same way as program software is, and
functional information like encyclopedias is too. The "glyphs are art"
reasoning is at best a misunderstanding of design as art, and at worse
a sneaky way for proprietary software developers to justify DRM.

> just think that moral right (rough translation from FR) should be preserved.

I agree, and the moral rights of authors do not conflict with the
rights users of functional information ought to have :-)

That's gonna change :-)
