Licenses of FOP XML Hyphenation Patterns The project ‘Objects For Formatting Objects’ (OFFO) hosts hyphenation pattern files in the XML format used by the Formatting Object Processor Apache Fop . All files were obtained by conversion of existing hyphenation pattern files for the typesetting program TeX. The hyphenation pattern files come with a variety of licenses, according to the license of the TeX hyphenation pattern file from which they are derived. All files hosted by the OFFO project come with an OSI-approved Open Source license, or were placed in the Public Domain by their authors. Below we list for each hyphenation pattern file the applicable license, and we provide a link to the text of the license. It is the responsibility of the user to read the license carefully and decide whether the intended usage complies with it. If it does not for one or more hyphenation pattern files, you cannot use those files. This is especially important if you intend to include the files with a distributed (software) package, or if you intend to use the files in a commercial application. See FOP's audit page , section 'Hyphenation pattern issues', in the FOP Wiki for additional information.
