The SIL Open Font License is a free and open source license designed for fonts by SIL International for use with some of their Unicode fonts.[1] The license is considered free by the Free Software Foundation, which states that a simple hello world program is enough to satisfy the license's requirement that fonts using the license be distributed with computer software.[2]
