Hi all

It is a delight to read such gentle answers. Thank you for not coming down like a ton of bricks. I expected tougher replies.

I am satisfied with the explanations given above. I merely want to use and redistribute this typeface freely without restrictions, similar to how we all use free software. I have no need or desire to modify it.

In response to what was asked about "advertising clause", it is not about the BSD license, but what the result of forcing the "Ubuntu" name is. Everything that uses the font has the name "Ubuntu" embedded in it, identifying the original source/vendor. This by itself is not bad as long as we can freely use it (and anyone who wishes so is able to create derivatives of this font).

Thank you for the answers.

Mukund
