| Welcome to the Electronic EULA Abstract Website |
| |
 |
The EEULAA website is devoted to working towards a computerized form of the EULA (End User License Agreement) and Personalization for fonts. For short we're calling this an Electronic EULA abstract or EEULAA.
Initially, we hope that this site will enable stakeholders to produce proposals and working prototypes of systems that utilize abstract EULAs. Ultimately, we intend to build these prototypes into real software -- font editing tools, websites, operating systems, and applications -- all the while taking account of contributions to this website. |

Who is working on this project? |
| An initial group of three got the present initiative moving by organizing the Digital rights in fonts: technology brainstorming session, which took place during TypeCon 2004 in San Francisco, in July. That initial group, which co-chaired the TypeCon session, is: |

Attending that event were around 60 people from all parts of the font industry.
We had a second meeting at the ATypI conference in Prague on 2 October 2004 with about the same number of people. Clive Bruton led a discussion there focused on the codification of embedding and usage privileges.
Since then we've had numerous meetings and discussions at virtually every ATypI and TypeCon conference. Emil Yakupov, of ParaType, has produced and contributed a prototype application which allows a user to create an OpenType table with EEULAA. Fontlab is now working on developing this prototype into a set of libraries for Windows and Macintosh applications. |

| How can I get involved? |
| There has previously been some discussion on the ATypI members discussion list and some other places. In 2007 an ATypI Special Interest Group was formed on this subject. However we aim with this website to open the discussion to all interested parties, not just those belonging to certain groups. For events where the issues are discussed face-to-face -- that's always good! -- please see our Current events section. |
