Seems to me similar to the Font Bureau deal, dissimilar to the Colophon deal

Hmm. Maybe when I am calculating pricing to release fonts under OFL I should be factoring in the lost sale to Monotype income.4
-
So Sharp Type didn’t sell off their employees as assets? Good on them for having a soul.6
-
One can offer OFL licensing at any price but one still needs to realize the price in the marketplace. Things are bought, not sold.0
-
Things are also not sold in the sense of ‘No, you can’t have it at that price’.3

That's what I mean by unrealized pricing innit0
