Thai Font Project for Droid font family

Please refer to: http://droidsans.com/node/23 for how to contribute.

This project is an effort to mimic all font glyphs from Thai national fonts, which are GPLed, to be Apache license, in order to contribute the newly made fonts to Android opensource project.

We mimic every single glyph, one-by-one, by redrawing it using Inkscape, saving as SVG format, and then importing it into Droid TTF files. We do not use any single vector from the original fonts. Therefore, we could be able to release a set of new fonts under Apache license.

Why is this allowed to do? Please refer to the following blog entry about Font Licensing: http://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/20050425novalis

(To summarize, font face is not copyrightable, only a font program, e.g. a TTF file, is.)
