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
