This repository is a fork of Libre Franklin: https://github.com/impallari/Libre-Franklin

License for USWDS’s Modified Version

This repository contains both the original font software for Libre Franklin (the “Original Version”) and font software modifications made by the General Services Administration (GSA). This repository combines the Original Version and these GSA modifications into a piece of font software called Public Sans, which is a “Modified Version” of Libre Franklin.

As a work of the United States Government, the font software modifications made by GSA are not subject to copyright within the United States. Additionally, GSA waives copyright and related rights in its font software modifications worldwide through the CC0 1.0 Universal public domain dedication.

The Original Version (as defined in the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1) remains subject to copyright under the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1.

This Modified Version (Public Sans) contains both software under the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1 and software modifications by GSA released as CC0. As a work of the United States Government, the software modifications made by GSA are not subject to copyright within the United States. Additionally, GSA waives copyright and related rights in its software modifications worldwide through the CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication. It is a “joint work” made of the original software and modifications combined into a single work.

In practice, users of this Modified Version (Public Sans) should use Public Sans according to the terms of the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1, below. This is because this font is a combination of work subject to copyright and work not subject to copyright, so the more restrictive requirements apply to using the combined work.

License of project USWDS’s Modified Version is based on

PREAMBLE
The goals of the Open Font License (OFL) are to stimulate worldwide
development of collaborative font projects, to support the font creation
efforts of academic and linguistic communities, and to provide a free and
open framework in which fonts may be shared and improved in partnership
with others.

The OFL allows the licensed fonts to be used, studied, modified and
redistributed freely as long as they are not sold by themselves. The
fonts, including any derivative works, can be bundled, embedded,
redistributed and/or sold with any software provided that any reserved
names are not used by derivative works. The fonts and derivatives,
however, cannot be released under any other type of license. The
requirement for fonts to remain under this license does not apply
to any document created using the fonts or their derivatives.

Holder(s) under this license and clearly marked as such. This may
include source files, build scripts and documentation.

"Reserved Font Name" refers to any names specified as such after the
copyright statement(s).

"Original Version" refers to the collection of Font Software components as
distributed by the Copyright Holder(s).

"Modified Version" refers to any derivative made by adding to, deleting,
