Re: Fonts WG Charter feedback

You're proposing to introduce a new wrapper format that includes license
information. But we can already include whatever license data is required
directly in the font file, without breaking compatibility with existing code
that processes those files. So your proposal introduces no new capabilities
and reduces interoperability. It's just as much a "gratuitous breaking of
interoperability" as Ascender's. In fact it's worse since it introduces a
whole new format that will have to be parsed.

Honestly, I think you're muddying the waters while the rest of us are making
progress here.
