This left me more confused - there are two cases :

- the typeface is used in media, or otherwise distributed

- the typeface is used locally in some app

Which license supports which case?

Print licensing is very standard and used by the majority of the font fountries with exception of Lineto and a few others. For example, buy 1 seat (1 designer) and that designer can make unlimited print products as long as they have the seat to use it. It is based on installation on a computer that is used to develop the print materials. Some font fountries prevent the use of embedding fonts in the distributed media (such as PDFs).

Where I made an explicit exception in the license is for developers using the typeface in IDEs, and using it in professional context. Also check input mono license which is where I got the inspiration from: https://input.djr.com/license/

The input mono license is very clear to me, either the font is distributed/published or it isn't. "Publish" and "distribute" have very clear meanings that refer to the use of the licensed material.

I think you need to go over the license copy with an attorney or native English speaker, since I am still left confused by your comments.

What about the one-user, commercial shop? Seems like commercial is minimum 10 users, but personal/developer is more expensive per user. Does a one man shop need to pay $250 for commercial use, or $75?
