I'm looking to package the B612 font for inclusion in the Fedora Linux distribution. I have a couple of questions I hope you can help with. The git repository says that the contents use the Eclipse Public License v1.0 and Eclipse Distribution License. However, the fonts themselves link to http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.fr. Could this be clarified? What's going on with the font name? All of the documentation uses the name "B612", but the fonts call themselves "AI-B612". I'm wondering how I should correctly refer to these fonts. I tried asking these questions on the mailing list, https://dev.polarsys.org/mailman/listinfo/b612-dev, but did not get a reply. Mine appears to be the only post ever made to this mailing list, so I'm not sure whether anyone else is subscribed, and thought I'd try asking here.
