| Aug 29, 2016 at 18:01 | comment | added | MiniMe | I am not sure I understand your logic. The font was designed in the 50s and it was given to some company to sell it legally. Today we have the font from different sources in exchange for money. So this guys copied the design of the font and they are OK but a "good Samaritan" is not good he is the evil one ? | |
| Aug 29, 2016 at 17:19 | comment | added | Cai | There are a lot of copies of old classic fonts which may or may not be "legit" but in most cases if someone is exactly copying a font to get around licensing the original, I personally wouldn't call them a "Good Samaritan" | |
| Aug 29, 2016 at 17:18 | comment | added | Cai | The "BT" in the font name stands for Bitstream, the foundry that released that version of the font—which definitely isn't free. | |
| Aug 29, 2016 at 17:02 | comment | added | MiniMe | How do I check if the free version is a legit version? Myfonts.com lists Folio fonts from a couple of sources but I don't see why a good Samaritan won't create a free version of this font and released to the public to use it. | |
