> I am puzzled as to why a "small non-profit" would pay $4k a year to license a single font in the first place.
Yeah, that’s just ridiculous. Imagine how many small donations are made to some non-profit cause and then up being wasted on paying for fancy proprietary fonts.
It’s unusual too; the non-profits with which I’ve interacted tend to use open source software and actually care about all this ethical stuff.
