Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away

ARPHIC PUBLIC LICENSE specifically permits and encourages
you to use this software, provided that you give the

sure they can get the modifications of this software.
Legal Terms
-
0.
Definitions: Throughout this License, "Font" means the
TrueType fonts "AR PL Mingti2L Big5", "AR PL KaitiM
Big5" (BIG-5 character set) and "AR PL SungtiL GB", "AR
PL KaitiM GB" (GB character set) which are originally
distributed by Arphic, and the derivatives of those fonts
created through any modification including modifying glyph,
reordering glyph, converting format, changing font name,
or adding/deleting some characters in/from glyph table.
"PL" means "Public License".
"Copyright Holder" means whoever is named
in the copyright or copyrights for the Font.
"You" means the licensee, or person copying,
redistributing or modifying the Font.
"Freely Available" means that you have the freedom to
copy or modify the Font as well as redistribute copies
of the Font under the same conditions you received, not
price. If you wish, you can charge for this service.
-
1.
Copying & Distribution You may copy and distribute
verbatim copies of this Font in any medium, without
restriction, provided that you retain this license
file (ARPHICPL.TXT) unaltered in all copies.
-
2.
Modification You may otherwise modify your copy of this Font
in any way, including modifying glyph, reordering glyph,
converting format, changing font name, or adding/deleting
some characters in/from glyph table, and copy and
distribute such modifications under the terms of Section
1 above, provided that the following conditions are met:
-
a)
You must insert a prominent notice in each modified
file stating how and when you changed that file.
-
b)
You must make such modifications Freely Available
as a whole to all third parties under the terms
of this License, such as by offering access to
copy the modifications from a designated place,
or distributing the modifications on a medium
customarily used for software interchange.
-
c)
If the modified fonts normally reads commands
interactively when run, you must cause it, when
started running for such interactive use in the most
ordinary way, to print or display an announcement
including an appropriate copyright notice and a
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying
that you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the Font under these conditions, and
telling the user how to view a copy of this License.
These requirements apply to the modified work as
a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are
not derived from the Font, and can be reasonably
considered independent and separate works in themselves,
then this License and its terms, do not apply to
those sections when you distribute them as separate
works. Therefore, mere aggregation of another work
not based on the Font with the Font on a volume
of a storage or distribution medium does not bring
the other work under the scope of this License.
-
3.
Condition Subsequent You may not copy, modify, sublicense,
or distribute the Font except as expressly provided under
this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
sublicense or distribute the Font will automatically
retroactively void your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies or rights
from you under this License will keep their licenses
valid so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
-
4.
Acceptance You are not required to accept this License,
since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants
you permission to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute
the Font. These actions are prohibited by law if you do
not accept this License. Therefore, by copying, modifying,
sublicensing or distributing the Font, you indicate your
acceptance of this License and all its terms and conditions.
-
5.
Automatic Receipt Each time you redistribute the Font,
the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Font
subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose
any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of
the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for
enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
-
6.
Contradiction If, as a consequence of a court judgment or
allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason
(not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed
on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise)
that contradict the conditions of this License, they do
not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If
you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your
obligations under this License and any other pertinent
obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute
the Font at all. For example, if a patent license would not
permit royalty-free redistribution of the Font by all those
who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License
would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Font.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or
unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the
balance of the section is intended to apply and the section
as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
-
7.
NO WARRANTY BECAUSE THE FONT IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE,
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE FONT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING
THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE FONT
"AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE
ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE FONT
IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE FONT PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
-
8.
DAMAGES WAIVER UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED
TO IN WRITING, IN NO EVENT WILL ANY COPYRIGHTT HOLDERS,
OR OTHER PARTIES WHO MAY COPY, MODIFY OR REDISTRIBUTE
THE FONT AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY
DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR
EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO
USE THE FONT (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PROCUREMENT OF
SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF USE, DATA OR PROFITS;
OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDERS OR OTHER
PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
