Any way to add it to the font files themselves so our checker tools can handle this properly? And, it's not going to work as a dual-license, you can't just suddenly dual-license those font files, right? > 1 file changed, 107 insertions(+) > create mode 100644 LICENSES/dual/OFL-1.1 > > diff --git a/LICENSES/dual/OFL-1.1 b/LICENSES/dual/OFL-1.1 > new file mode 100644 > index 00000000000000..00b8db08bd0e54 > --- /dev/null > +++ b/LICENSES/dual/OFL-1.1 > @@ -0,0 +1,107 @@ > +Valid-License-Identifier: OFL-1.1 > +SPDX-URL: https://spdx.org/licenses/OFL-1.1 > +Usage-Guide: > + Do NOT use this license for code, but it's acceptable for fonts (where the > + license is specifically written for them).
