The Licence Amicale is a software license that regulates a creative work's distribution within a private setting, fostering its organic propagation among individuals. Creation files may be distributed online or in person, including via email, direct messaging, or external hard drives.
This initiative originated in France with Anton Moglia and was further developed through collaboration with the Velvetyne team and David Jonathan Ross. The single-page website for Licence Amicale features Lack for headings and Inria Serif for text blocks.
Originally created for typeface distribution, Licence Amicale extends its application to various digital creations such as music, 3D files, software, and more. Users can share projects in progress or drafts with friends and family, simultaneously licensing them.
Creation files distributed under Licence Amicale can be freely used by each recipient for a range of projects, whether commercial or otherwise. One of the fonts distributed under Licence Amicale is Vercetti.
