In reply to Source Sans Pro: Adobe’s first open source type family:
Reynir, what may cause confusion here is a real distinction between what you or I might consider a programming language, and hence what constitutes a computer program, and the legal definition of a computer program according to the registrar of copyright or other intellectual property protection in a given jurisdiction. So, for instance, the US Copyright Office defines a computer program very generously as 'a set of statements or instructions to be used directly or indirectly in a computer in order to bring about a certain result', and extends protection 'to all the copyrightable expression embodied in the computer program'. The inclusion of statements as well as instructions in the definition, and the allowance of indirect as well as direct use in bringing about 'a certain result', opens a pretty wide door.
