More of a legality technical issue than a programming one, but an advanced topic I guess? It takes a real expert on legal matters to know the answer. But feel free to move the topic if it fits better elsewhere.
If I use a GPL font to cover most of the UTF-8 character set without having to pay for an expensive font license, I'd love to just borrow one from conveniently on my Linux OS by default. The only problem with this is, GameMaker is propriety and not free software, would it be against international laws concerning the GPL license version in use for the font? I was going to provide the source code as it was just going to be a cross-platform terminal (or rather, a game maker tutorial that demonstrates how to use my extension to create a cross-platform terminal) is providing the game maker project good enough? Or because the compiled form of the game that is built with game maker (the runner) is closed-source, would it just be a problem regardless?
Thank,
