Problem/Motivation

Open Sans is not GPLv2-compliant and therefore cannot be used as a part of Spark.

Proposed resolution

Possible solutions:

  1. Use Source Sans, which out of necessity has already been included in the new release as a temporary or possibly permanent solution.
  2. Find a different font that is GPLv2-compliant that is close to Open Sans.
  3. See if there is a way to relicense Open Sans so it may be used as the Spark font.

We went with Source Sans. It's possible we will revamp this in the future, but for now this is addressed.
