Are the fonts that come with Ubuntu free for personal and commercial use?
<p>Are the fonts that come with <a href="https://www.ubuntu.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Ubuntu</a> free for personal and commercial use? I tried Googling it but nothing came up.</p>

<p>In general: Yes. Everything included in the main Ubuntu distribution (the programs, the data, and also the fonts) may be freely used and modified. The details are explained on the <a href="https://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/licensing" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Ubuntu Licencing page</a>:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>All application software in both 'main' and 'restricted' must meet the
  following requirements:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Must allow redistribution.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>[..]</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Must not require royalty payments or any other fee for redistribution or modification.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>[..]</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Must not discriminate against persons, groups or against fields of endeavour. The licence of software included in Ubuntu can not
  discriminate against anyone or any group of users and cannot restrict
  users from using the software for a particular field of endeavour - a
  business for example. So we will not distribute software that is
  licensed "freely for non-commercial use".</li>
  </ul>
</blockquote>

<p>Note one restriction, however: This only applies to the repositories ''main'' and ''restricted''. <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Ubuntu repositories</a> are stores of software packages provided by Ubuntu, or by third parties. If you use other repositories than ''main'' and ''restricted'', you will have to check the licensing for yourself.</p>

<p>Finally, if you are unsure about a specific program of font, check the license. For each software package installed, there will be a file <code>/usr/share/doc/&lt;package name&gt;/copyright</code>, which contains the copyright notice and the licence the software is distributed under. Check that to be sure.</p>
