non-free

This section lists candidates for the non-free section of the archive. Do not add fonts that you know we cannot distribute.

• Code2000 and its companion fonts by James Kass, covering Buhid, Cham, Ol Chiki, Phags-pa and Rejang (GPL 3, copyright/license in dispute)

• Siddhanta by Mihail Bayaryn, covering Vedic extensions; the font is using the CC-by-NC-ND 3.0 license, but the author has previously made fonts available with GPL; as other projects (Fedora, SIL) are working on extending their Devanagari fonts the need for this non-free font may be outwaited
