}Evidence claims
- [sourced_fact] Site: OFL fonts can be used in books, posters, artwork, logos and websites without acknowledgement, freely modified and redistributed, and bundled in software subject to conditions; Reserved Font Names may require renaming. · locator: Home page source
- [sourced_fact] Site points to the official OFL 1.1 text (26 February 2007) and OFL-FAQ 1.1-update7 (November 2023); the home page does not itself list sale or same-license conditions. · locator: Home page, license text links source
- [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
