Legal question

Hello Sergey,

 

I created Assyrian/Syriac fonts from scratch using Fontographer and VOLT. Do I have the legal rights to distribute these fonts free? I made some changes in the optional ligatures and replaced a couple of (garshouni) letters with Eastern Assyrian letters.

As long as your outlines have not been directly copied from
copyright fonts, then you may sell or give away the fonts freely.
