In response to the recent message asking about redistribution conditions:

    (1) Many of the fonts on MacFonts1 and MacFonts2 are copyrighted
    and can only be used for personal use.  You can't sell them, use
    them in a commercial program that you write, etc. without getting
    permission from all of the copyright owners involved.

    A fair number of copyright notices appeared in the "Get Info" boxes.
    Sometime I need to put together and post a file containing all these
    messages.  For now, assume that all the fonts are copyrighted (that
    is the only safe bet, since some are "origin unknown").

    (2) It is perfectly OK to give copies of the font disks to friends
    or to user group libraries, provided that you only give away copies
    of the complete set.  (This prevents people from asking Keith Sproul
    for partial sets to supplement bits & pieces grabbed here and there).

    So far, I have posted one-half of the set.  I will post the other half
    (about twenty files) by this Saturday.

                                        -- Thomas Newton
