License clarification

[gavinhenderson]

Sorry this is not a feature request but question about the license.

I am building an Open Source (MIT) application which is a templating system which generates PDF files. A user answers a set of questions and in turn a PDF is generated to match their specification. The application has multiple interfaces. It can be used via CLI, API and a web app.

I am very keen to allow people to chose opendyslexic as the font to be used in their generated PDFs. To do this I would use the font in the backend service, which would bundle the font as part of the PDF. A user of my software may never download anything other than a PDF.

My questions about how the license will impact my work are:

• Am I required to give attributions to the font?
• If I am required, where am I required to give the attribution? In every PDF? In my Github README? In my web interface?
• Am I required to include a copy of the license?
• Can I distribute my software under any license?
• Can I distribute my software for profit (not currently my plan but just want to cover my bases)

I have read both the OFL.txt file and the OFL-FAQ.txt file in depth. However, I was unable to answer my questions based on these documents, mainly because I don't understand the legal wording.
