License

Vazir has been in public domain so far. I don't know which license is more appropriate for this font? CC0 or OFL? Which one is better for the font/typeface community? Sometimes people ask me for permission (the license) and i have to explain to them what exactly public domain means!
What do you recommend for the next release? CC0 or OFL or something else?

A font license can only contain one of 3 possible values:

• license: "APACHE2"
• license: "OFL"
• license: "UFL"

I myself choose the OFL license, so offer it to you

UFL example:

Thank you Saleh, OFL seems to be the best choice.
