General Information
SafeFonts Pro includes open-source components licensed under GPL v2 and MIT, as documented in the public GitHub repository (https://github.com/chrmrtns/safefonts).
By purchasing access to SafeFonts Pro through our website, you are not purchasing the software code itself, but rather:
- Convenient access to packaged builds and updates
- Optional premium support
- Access to proprietary configurations, templates, or integrations
- Usage rights for brand assets and marketing materials (where applicable)
All software components remain under their respective open-source licenses. Your purchase does not restrict your rights granted under GPL or MIT.
However, the service, distribution infrastructure, premium content, and associated commercial offerings are subject to our Terms and Conditions and refund policy.
This commercial offering does not alter the terms of the open-source licenses in any way.
Instead, it covers the packaged delivery, convenience, and commercial services that support the GPL/MIT-based project.
For full details, please refer to the license section in our documentation or contact us.
