I give away Linear B. It's an incomplete set, and has not been vetted by
experts, as has Michael's. It's worth what you pay for it.
I and Michael both give away Ogham. His has the glyphs in the proper
Unicode slots; mine is a font hack (I have the Unicode version sitting
on my hard disk, tapping its foot waiting to get out).
And making fonts isn't my day job. With Michael, you get scholarly
expertise, professional care, and someone to complain to when things are
wrong. With my fonts, you get what you pay for.
I'd be happy, short-term, if Michael gave away more stuff. But until he
becomes independently wealthy, we all lose long-term if he decides he
can no longer afford to devote the time to script encoding.
