Go OFL about et-book HOT 8 OPEN

@adamschwartz would love to get this updated :)

from et-book.

I truly hope the relicensing would happen.

@adamschwartz Any chance to have the license adapted? If you want the permissive nature of the MIT license, you could add a "font-embedding clause" as is usual with GPL fonts. Or you could go dual-license: MIT (possibly plus font-embedding clause) and OFL.

I agree completely. SIL OFL is a much better license to go with for font files as it specifically covers embedding.

Please use SIL OFL. This is the right license for fonts

This is one of only a few good quality fonts with a permissive licence. With a SIL OFL licence the option to use this font as base for my own fonts, which I can distribute under my own licence would be gone.

@tobltobs, I do not believe you have this option now, in the sense that you can't simply remove the MIT license from the font.
