Comment on OpenMoji: Open-source emojisparent

Comments

JFTR, "Symbola" font[0] actually is not an opensource and just freeware for personal use, but it was "fully free for any use"[1] till February/March 2018[2]. BTW, Even in actual state "Symbola" is my fav font for emoji input on desktop (via Gucharmap[2]) and mobile (via UnicodePad[3]).

We removed Symbola from the official Arch repositories because of these license changes.

Namely these (paraphrased) snippets:

1) The developer retains all rights to previous, current and future versions of UFAS.

2) Users are prohibited from network installation.

3) Users are prohibited from redistributing UFAS.

The developer retains all rights to previous,...

Developer can't retains rights granted with previous versions of "Symbola".
