Fonts are licensed for servers *per CPU core*. In what world does this make sense?

@dchest I think that this is an attempt at finding a proxy for number of people who are viewing the site/number of person-minutes viewing the site. It's obviously somewhat poor in the original world and very trivially manipulated. However, I don't really have a good idea of a better proxy that would not be unprovably falsifiable.

@robryk Web fonts are licensed per page view, this is for "a server that allows your customers/clients to have remote access to use the fonts for product customization", whatever this means fontshop.com/families/ff-scala

@dchest Oh, ok, then I agree that the per-cpu-core thing is bonkers. (I thought that per-view would be too difficult to audit and people were being inventive while trying to find some more auditable proxy.)
