A licensing patch on top of 1.4.0 - and the build to upload in its place. Nothing new to use.

Changed

  • The font picker offers a phone font only if the font's own file declares the SIL Open Font License or the Apache License 2.0. 1.4.0 listed every Latin font Android names, which on a Pixel or a Samsung phone includes the maker's own faces (Google Sans, the One UI fonts). The app never copied those files, but they are licensed for the maker's software, not for pictures made in another app. Stock Android is unaffected: all of its fonts are OFL or Apache and all are still offered.

Licence audit

Done on the 1.4.0 files after it was tagged. All 18 bundled font families declare OFL 1.1 or Apache 2.0 in their own files, are byte-identical to google/fonts (so no Reserved Font Name is in play), and ship their licence text in the app's licence page. A test now fails the build if a bundled font ever lacks a registered licence.

Notes

Full changes: v1.4.0...v1.4.1
