Salam Haydar, I downloaded the fonts (cool work; the more fonts we
have the better -- Arabic is a beautiful language and we need to
portray it as such and show it off a bit :-)

I have a question though, most font files that are open source usually
either don't contain a "copyright" statement or have one that notes,

  COPYRIGHT "Public domain font.  Share and enjoy."

The files I just ftp'ed from haydarlinux.org note,

  COPYRIGHT "Copyright <A9> Haydar Net. 2002. All Rights Reserved"

Is this intentional ?  And how restrictive is it ?

Thanks (& keep up the great work).
