– 特別聲明 –

本文為《SIL開源字型授權》（SIL Open Font License，簡稱《SIL OFL》或《OFL》）的非官方簡體中文翻譯。本聲明并非由 SIL 國際 (SIL International) 發(fā)布，也不是采用《OFL》的字型軟件的法定發(fā)布條款。以《OFL》授權的字型軟件發(fā)布版本只在使用英語原文條款時有效。

但是，我們承認這份非官方翻譯可以幫助不熟悉英語的用戶和設計師更好地理解《SIL OFL》，并更加容易地在本字型協(xié)作設計模式下使用和發(fā)布字型家族。如果可以的話，我們鼓勵各位設計師在考慮使用《OFL》發(fā)布字型創(chuàng)作之前，以母語閱讀《常見問題目錄》（FAQ）了解詳情。

序言

《開源字型授權》（Open Font License，簡稱《OFL》）旨在促進全球字型協(xié)作項目的共同開發(fā)，支持學術及語言學團體對于字型創(chuàng)作的努力，以及提供一個自由開源的基本框架，讓字型能在彼此合作的關系中分享與改進。

OFL允許以本授權釋出的字型自由地使用、研究、修改和再分發(fā)(redistributed)，而該釋出字型不得被單獨銷售。該字型，以及任何其衍生作品 (derivative works)，可以與任何軟件捆綁 (bundled)、嵌入 (embedded)、再分發(fā)以及／或一并銷售，前提是衍生作品不得使用任何保留字型名稱 (reserved names)。然而，該釋出字型與其衍生作品不得在任何其他授權條款下發(fā)布。本授權針對釋出字型“必須以同樣授權釋出”的要求規(guī)定，并不適用于任何使用該釋出字型或其衍生作品創(chuàng)建的任何文檔。

– Special Disclaimer –

This is an unofficial translation of the SIL Open Font License into Chinese (Simplified). It was not published by SIL International, and does not legally state the distribution terms for fonts that use the OFL. A release under the OFL is only valid when using the original English text.

However, we recognize that this unofficial translation will help users and designers not familiar with English to understand the SIL OFL better and make it easier to use and release font families under this collaborative font design model. We encourage designers who consider releasing their creation under the OFL to read the FAQ in their own language if it is available.

Please go to https://scripts.sil.org/OFL for the official version of the license and the accompanying FAQ.

SIL OPEN FONT LICENSE Version 1.1 – 26 February 2007
==============================

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.

DEFINITIONS

“Font Software” refers to the set of files released by the Copyright 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, or substituting — in part or in whole — any of the components of the Original Version, by changing formats or by porting the Font Software to a new environment.

“Author” refers to any designer, engineer, programmer, technical writer or other person who contributed to the Font Software.
