License[edit]

METATYPE1 doesn't include any license, so it is non-free in at least some copyright systems. Should it be removed from the Free TeX Software category?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.79.199.91 (talk • contribs) 21:09:51, 9 Sep 2007 (UTC)

Really no license?[edit]

METATYPE1 does include a licence. According to CTAN package page and Readme file on CTAN it's in public domain, the license reads:

This is METATYPE1 package -- a tool for creating Type 1 fonts using METAPOST. The package belongs to public domain (no copyrights, copylefts, copyups, copydowns, etc.).

This is template {{subst:Requested move/end}}

METATYPE1 → MetaType1 – The http://www.ntg.nl/maps/26/15.pdf reference cited in the article as well as a further search at Google Scholar suggest that "MetaType1" is at least as widely used as the title of the article. The suggested title should resolve the current inconsistency with Metafont and MetaPost, which can all also be stylised in all caps/small caps. ~~~~
