+Copyrights
+----------
+
+It is my understanding that:  
+
+- In the USA, bitmap typefaces are not copyrightable.  
+- In the UK, the 25-year term of copyright for these typefaces has expired.  
+
+However, you should ensure that you have the right to copy and use these typefaces in your jurisdiction.  
+
+
+Licensing
+---------
+
+Notwithstanding the above, in several cases explicit licensing terms were provided.
+Please refer to the individual sources and directories for such terms.  
+
+Insofar as I have created copyrightable work by representing these typefaces in their present form:
+to the extent possible under law, I waive all copyright
+and related or neighbouring rights to that additional work under the
+[Creative Commons Zero dedication](http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/).
