Thanks! This looks fine to me as the simplest solution that will work. The only concern I have here is that it's not clear what MIT/Apache 2.0 apply to. Perhaps a top-level COPYRIGHT file (like in the rust tree), that explains more precisely which components are covered by what, and that the content is not covered. What do you think about that @ruud-v-a? |

Good idea. Something like this? |

I've always personally on the side of just removing all our font business, it's ended up being a never-ending series of small paper cuts, but other than that this seems fine. |
