@splendorr @ianbicking As I said, community is welcome to fork. Forking is an ethical solution to concerns like this.

That said, I researched downstream projects: Debian, Mozilla, GNOME, Fedora, a bunch others, and the way I use LLM's is compatible with their policies.

Also fortunately, text *shaping* in HarfBuzz is super stable and doesn't change often. A fork of that is very feasible for distros that absolutely can't ship this.

@dysfun Care to elaborate?

HarfBuzz 13.0.0 released with new experimental features: `hb-vector` for vector output of glyph outlines to SVG and `hb-raster` for rasterizing glyphs to A8 / BGRA32 images, among other features.

I would like to welcome our new contributors: Claude & Codex, without whom these new features would not have been possible.
