Authorship lineage
------------------

The MSW98UI typeface descends from Microsoft's "MS Sans Serif" UI face
(the default Windows 3.1 / 95 / 98 / ME chrome font, copyright Microsoft
Corporation). Modern OTF/TTF conversion by Lev Leontev
(see https://stackoverflow.com/a/54023769); hinting and rendering fixes
by martyr— (the MARTYR-X-LTD organization on GitHub). Glyph data is a
faithful pixel-art reconstruction, not a fresh design.

License posture (LicenseRef-martyr-x-ltd-ms-w98-ui-free)
--------------------------------------------------------

The upstream repository ships **no LICENSE file**. The README states only:

    "The release is free and credits to all the contributors behind
    the work been done for each font."

This is a permissive intent statement, not a formal SPDX-recognized grant.
Vendored under a documented `LicenseRef-martyr-x-ltd-ms-w98-ui-free`
identifier, mirroring the same posture used by adjacent Win98-revival
projects in the ecosystem (e.g. justinthevoid/euclid). The underlying
glyph shapes still derive from Microsoft's typographic work; this
redistribution makes no claim of independent copyright over the glyph
forms.

If you are a downstream redistributor, a rights-holder (including
Microsoft, MARTYR-X-LTD, or Lev Leontev), or otherwise have standing to
object to this redistribution, please reach out via the project's
support channel surfaced from `/credits` and we will pull or relicense
the asset as appropriate.

Replacement guidance
--------------------

A drop-in OFL alternative exists at W95FA (Alina Sava, SIL OFL 1.1,
https://fontsarena.com/w95fa-by-alina-sava/). Metrics diverge from
MSW98UI noticeably enough that the swap was reverted on visual review.
If a future legal complaint forces a swap, the W95FA path is the
documented fallback.
