On: Iosevka – A Typeface for Code, from Code

You're right, that's nice. However, Input is proprietary and requires agreeing to a _rather restrictive_ licence to download and use...

I don't find this license very restrictive. You can use it for personal use as much as you want.

You can't put it on websites or use it in software you give out.

Seems fair to me.

[justinjlynn → Illniyar]

I am wary of licenses which attempt to narrowly define things like personal use with language that is incredibly legally vague.

> For the purposes of this License, Personal Use is defined as any use on your own computer that involves computer programming, software development, or the composition of plaintext documents in personal, professional, or non-professional contexts.

namely:

> composition of plaintext documents

just composition? What if I print it? Can I use it in a presentation? I would rather not agree to language which seems to imply a future requirement to purchase some "other" licence if I trigger any of those clauses.

Agree.
