- License summary (English translation of the verified Korean record): KoPub font license (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism · Korean Publishers Society) — free for all users, commercial use permitted. Conservative application (based on the web notice): modification or alteration without prior approval is prohibited, embedding in web services or programs requires separate approval, and paid sale or transfer of the font itself is prohibited. The Terms PDF (Article 4) permits modification and redistribution (with a reserved-name clause), which differs from the web notice — the conservative interpretation is adopted.
