In fact, I know a few type designers who are quite OK about 3rd party
modifications of their work provided they are asked for permission
first. Which is why they always pick a proprietary license for their
work -- exactly to discourage arbitrary modifications :) It might
sounds crazy or stupid, but fonts are kinda special -- unlike software
where it's easy to notify a user about an existing update, an outdated
font has a long, long time of life. And once it's out, it's out.
