That list refers specifically to licenses intended to be used by fonts and font packs. It is implied that any other GPL compatible license is allowed. Although since licenses like GPL, MIT, BSD were created for software built from source code it's usually inconvenient to use them for artwork such as images or fonts, hence the necessity for font-specific licenses such as SIL.<div><br></div><div>Daniel</div><div><br><div><div>On Nov 15, 2012, at 3:59 AM, Merci Javier wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">@Daniel first of all, the title of this thread is "GPL-compatible icon fonts" === fonts. The link is reference for all theme developers and reviewers. If fonts licensed MIT and BSD are GPL-compatible, then they should be listed there. Simple really. No need for rant.<br>

Every time a license is mentioned someone says they don't see it listed in <insert link that lists GPL compatible licenses here>. Just do some research before posting something like that. BSD and MIT are umbrella terms for 2 original licenses that have since been forked under several different names, all of which are compatible with the GPL. This is also the case with most open source licenses so you usually won't find an exhaustive list of compatible licenses anywhere, but a simple google search might enlighten the matter.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div>
