Redistributing XFree86 fonts - legal?


Hi I was under the impression that XFree86 was entirely under the GPL, and looking at the website it seems to indicate that this includes binaries as well.

Does this mean I can include X fonts with my programs as long as I include the license?

If you are sure the prgram is GPL yes. But if you want to be sure you look at treir webpage or can email the Xfree team and ask them.
