Hi!

 

I developing a Windows application for my company’s project.

 

We want to support English, Korean, Chinese(Simplified/Traditional) on our application.

 

So, during we looking for a font that support above languages as entirely free, we found Noto Sans font family.

 

I want to embedded Noto Sans font in our application.

 

Is it not out of licence?

 

It there any duties I have to?

 

Or I have to include licence text file?

 

Thank you for your help and sorry to my poor English.

 

Thank you.

 

Regard.

Hi

Thanks for your email. Your company should have a lawyer who can advise you on the freedoms and responsibilities that come with "libre" software licenses. 

You can embed fonts available under the SIL Open Font License, such as Noto, but there are some requirements (such as, including license text files alongside the font files.) 

Please read the license, it is not very long and written in fairly simple English. There is also an FAQ document to help you and your lawyer understand it better.
