Hello everybody,
My question is simple and maybe silly - I found a font that I want to use in app and from that point I think I need commercial license for it. But the font is Opti Edgar Bold Extended created by OPTIFONT many years ago. As I can see the company is not alive for about 10+ years. What can I see from font info is - 1.2, Copyright Copr. Castcraft Software, Inc. 1990-1991. Well... This font is everywhere on net for free personal use but can I use it for commercial app (use) or somewhere else got rights for this old font?

Opti Edgar Bold Extended is a copy of Eurostile.

I'm not a pro in these questions... "Copy" means I have to switch to Eurostile and can't use the Opti Edgar Bold Extended or this is just an option? How fonts may be copies of each other? This way I could make my own copy with a different name only... Sounds a little bit strange

From the other hand - maybe someone could point me an OFL (open license font) similar to one of mentioned above? This would make things much easier
Thx in advance.

Thank you claudeserieux
Unfortunately I'm not sure I can safely use this font - it looks 100% like Eurostile with some minor changes I could maybe make by myself in FontForge. I need a font for a mobile app and it seems that I'll have to stick with Google Fonts. They don't have anything close to Eurostile but maybe I'll manage to do something with their Russo One.
When it comes to mobile apps font owners don't even give you a price from the very beginning. I spent 20+ min yesterday talking with someone from "myfonts" and all I got was something like - you'll have to meet a special manager... etc. I was not given a price but it is not about 20 or even 200 USD. It must something about thousands a year :( In such situation Google's OFL fonts may be a way to go...
