Font distributors
From Fontlab Wiki
Font distributors would like a way to help font customers purchase the EULA that's just right for them. Some customers might wish to browse only fonts that allow PDF embedding, or to exclude fonts that disallow making GIFs for web use.
With EULA abstracts this becomes possible, along with the opportunity to charge customers extra for upgrades if the particular usage is not covered in the default EULA. An interface consisting of list of checkboxes, corresponding to items in the EULA abstract, becomes possible; the price would change depending on the items selected.
Such functionality benefits greatly from point-of-sale modifications to the font file:
- editing the embedding bits to suit the customized EULA
- storing data about the abstract EULA in the license field
- font personalization
