“Apple Color Emoji.ttf"许可 [英] License of "Apple Color Emoji.ttf"

问题描述

OS X Lion 的 /System/Library/Fonts/Apple Color Emoji.ttf 的许可是什么?

在这篇帖子中，Apple 的 Peter Edberg 说:><块引用>

如前所述，Apple 想要制作 Apple Emoji 字体 -以及由此产生的字形 - 使用许可广泛提供任何人都可以按照他们认为合适的方式更改它或将其合并使用其他字体的字形，Apple 无需购买任何字形
此类更改的权利.我们要强加的唯一条件是:a)名称Apple Emoji"只能用于未修改的原始
字体；如果字体被修改或与另一种字体组合，
结果必须具有不同的名称(其中不含Apple").b) 的原始字体，或从它派生或合并部分的字体，不能作为独立包装出售.(但是，它可能是
作为系统的一部分包含在一个系统中，作为一个包出售).否则一个第三方应自由使用字体，或对其进行改编、修改它，扩展它，分发它，等等.

但是，在发布该帖子时(2009 年)，Apple 尚未决定实际许可.我现在试图找出答案，但找不到更正式的许可声明.

[2014-03-12 更新:我现在已经给 Edberg 先生发邮件并要求澄清.]

解决方案

Mr.Edberg 已经回答了我(我的重点):

<块引用>

根据 emoji4unicode 帖子[...] 考虑许可的字体不是Apple Color Emoji"，它从未考虑许可.相反，它是一个单独的黑色 &白色Apple Emoji"字体主要是作为 Unicode 和 ISO 10646 提案的一部分开发的，用于添加表情符号字符，以便提供用于代码图表等的字形.据我所知，它不是一种字体已包含在运送 Apple 产品中.

所以答案是Apple Color Emoji.ttf"没有可用的许可证.

顺便说一下，IANAL.

2018-02-06 更新:根据 Twitter 帖子，Apple 已开始在 App Store 中强制执行此操作.Sam Eckert 在那里报道:

我刚刚就表情符号问题与应用审核团队通了电话.应用不再允许在非键盘情况下使用 EMOJI.意味着如果你的应用在任何地方显示表情符号而没有用户输入，这是非法的，将被拒绝.

What's the license of OS X Lion's /System/Library/Fonts/Apple Color Emoji.ttf?

In this posting Apple's Peter Edberg says:

As previously stated, Apple would like to make the Apple Emoji font - and the glyphs therefrom - widely available using a license that makes it possible for anyone to change it as they see fit or to combine its glyphs with those from another font, without Apple acquiring any
rights to such changes. The only conditions we want to impose are: a) The name "Apple Emoji" can only be used for the original unmodified
font; if the font is modified or combined with another font, the
result must have a different name (without "Apple" in it). b) The original font, or one derived from it or incorporating parts of it, can not be sold as a stand-alone package. (However, it it could be
included as part of a system which is sold as a package). Otherwise a third party should be free to use the font, or to adapt it, modify it, extend it, distribute it, etc.

However, at the time of that posting (2009), Apple had not decided about the actual license. I tried to find out now, but I could not find a more official license statement.

[Update 2014-03-12: I have now mailed Mr. Edberg and asked for clarification.]

解决方案

Mr. Edberg has answered me (my emphasis):

The font being considered for licensing as per the emoji4unicode posting [...] was not "Apple Color Emoji", which was never considered for licensing. Rather, it was a separate black & white "Apple Emoji" font mainly developed as part of the proposal to Unicode and ISO 10646 for the addition of emoji characters, in order to provide glyphs for use in the code charts etc. As far as I know it is not a font that ever been included in shipping Apple products.

So the answer is that there is no license for 'Apple Color Emoji.ttf' available.

IANAL, by the way.

Update 2018-02-06: According to Twitter posts, Apple has started enforcing that now in the App Store. Sam Eckert reports there:

I’ve just been on the phone with the App Review team regarding the Emoji issue. Apps are NO LONGER ALLOWED TO USE EMOJI in non-keyboard based situations. Means if your app displays emoji anywhere without a user having it typed in, it’s illegal and will be rejected.
