Symbola Font for Unicode No Longer Free
Symbola font versions after 10.23 are no longer (libre) Free.
George Douros, created a lot unicode fonts. They had a license of “free for any use”. but since March 2018, the license changed to “free strictly for personal, non-commercial use”.
his site was [http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/] as of 2018-01-29
here's webarchive screenshots of his website and font license.
quite interesting turn of events. George Douros is the guy who created the Symbola font, for years its the most popular and basically the only open source font for emoji. Now the license change is rather drastic. e.g. linux distro cannot use it as is.
